How about the following wording here

Instead of staging the content of each file immediately after
changing it, you can wait until you have completed all the changes
you want to make and then use the `-a` option to tell `git commit`
to look for all changes to the content it is tracking and commit it
automatically. That
                 ^^^^^^^
                 files
                 (or "files whose contents")

is, this example ...
[Yes, git tracks the contents of files, but it also has a list of
files whose contents it is tracking]

regardless, I think "it" should become "them"

... it is tracking and commit them automatically.

Works wonderfully, as the syntactically anal will notice that "them" refers to "the changes" while newbies glossing over the docs will think of "them" as "the files" (which is technically incorrect but amounts to the same thing from that same newbies perspective).
