I find it annoying that "commit -a" isn't implemented in terms of
"git add .".  Mainly because I'll make a number of changes in Eclipse
then go back and do "commit -a" and only days later discover that
I have untracked files in my working directory which should have
been added to the commit several days ago.

Although despite the fact that I always have my .gitignore setup 
properly, every once in a while I'll change something to produce
a new file that Git should really ignore, and I'll forget to put
it into .gitignore.  Having some sort of "commit -a" which adds
that new file would be an issue.

Yes, breaking -a may be a problem.
