Two things: - add and commit are two _different_ operations, not only in name, but also in nature. The fact that "commit -a" calls "add" is a _pure_ convenience. It does not change the fact that "add" and "commit" are completely, utterly different. - if you are a heavy user of "commit -a", chances are that your history is not really useful, because you committed unrelated changes accidentally in the same commit. The latter point, BTW, is the reason I _never_ teach the "-a" option (actually, I teach no option at all) in my first two Git lessons.
