Can we still stick to that stance? Our tests are increasingly using
'git add' instead of 'git update-index --add':
$ git grep 'git[ -]add' t/ | wc -l
1540
$ git grep 'git[ -]update-index --add' t/ | wc -l
269
$ git grep 'git[ -]update-index --add' v1.6.0 t/ | wc -l
251
$ git grep 'git[ -]add' v1.6.0 t/ | wc -l
705
So while git(1) still says git-add is porcelain (and thus not to be used
for scripting), it has mostly superseded 'git update-index --add' in new
script usage even within git.git. I suspect the same goes for things
like git-rm, git-commit, etc.
