No you won't.
If you don't use update-index, then index will match HEAD and you will commit
changes in the working tree. That is the way for newbies
As soon as you do the first update-index the index will no longer match HEAD,
so commit will do the same as it does now.
And if you are not sure which you have done then presumably you do what you do
now, or git commit -a or git commit -i as you need.
Plus, one assumes, the git-generated comments in the commit message will
tell you what kind of commit it has decided to do.
I like this suggestion a lot. Thinking back over my git usage recently,
which has included both styles of commits (though mostly -a ones), I
think this would have done the right thing by default in every case.
