It's too bad that 'commit -a' and 'add -a' will have different meanings. Are add and commit considered porcelain enough that their short options could be changed? Probably not, but it would be nice to align 'commit -a' and 'add -a' or maybe 'commit -u' and 'add -u'. I can just hear people whining about inconsistent flags between subcommands with this change. > The support of this has been very low priority for me personally, because > I almost never do "git add ." in an already populated directory, and if a > directory is not already populated, there is no point saying "git add -u" > at the same time. Your reasoning for not using it (which is probably the case for most people), combined with the inconsistent short options makes me dislike the short option a little bit, but I like the long --add option.
