Yes.  This is an argument for the single-diff approach that Junio
suggested, since at least it's not significantly slower than the
future default behavior ("git add -u :/").

Sysadmins and others helping to train users will need to make sure
people working on large repos understand that they can use "git add -u ."
to avoid a speed penalty.

Thanks for looking it over,
