Should this be added to Documentation/rants/filename-
braindamage.txt?  ;-)

Ok. Obviously I should't have said that it add "files" (gr, silly me).
What I meant was it adds the content of files. But there is a difference
in adding and replacing content.

I was referring to adding Linus' rant... And maybe several others. I tend to find his rants at least slightly amusing, highly informative, and I tend to end up agreeing. I have very little opinion on your complaint so long as the system works consistently. "git commit -a" is still my most common workflow. I've used git-add (and prior to that git-update-index) from time to time when I fix bugs that need to be separate from my current work, but far far more common is "I finished this chunk of functionality, add all the changes I did to make it happen".
