Uh, why is that? I see -a saying:
-a, --all Tell the command to automatically stage files that have been modified and deleted,
butnew files you have not told git about are not affected.
What is it about add/deletes that it doesn't do? Is the problem 'git
add' creates a stage already? How is that a problem?
