How about this:
git-update-index becomes plumbing only - never expect a user to run it.
Hence,
git-add becomes git-prepare and does
a) update-index --add
when the file being "prepared" is not tracked
b) update-index
when the file is already tracked
git-rm takes on "git-update-index --remove" (and --force-remove) with
appropriate switches.
git-mv does what it does - it's already pretty perfect
git-cp gets added; even though it's simply "cp a b; git-prepare b"
Obviously with all the details that I've left out filled in.
