There is no difference. This is git, a content tracker.

Same for the rest.

OK. Strike the words "or rename" from the description, leaving just:

	Any removal of a tracked file will be detected and committed
	automatically.

The rest of my analysis still stands, I believe. And I'd be glad to
accept further suggestions on documenting these. The goal is simply to
have a user-oriented description of the semantics that are consistent
between the current "git commit -a" and "git commit files..."
commands.
