Sure. But so would adding this as git-add to your $PATH:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/git-core/git-add --edit $@
Git already has plenty of ways to shoot yourself in the foot. I don't
see how it's worse if that's done through some generalized facility
which results in less special-case code in individual tools.
