Re: [PATCH/RFC] Allow file removal when "git commit --all" is used.

Hi,

It can be argued that this is a feature; people should be
careful and something with a grave consequence like removing
files should be done manually, in which case the current
behaviour may be OK.

The patch is for people who thinks the user who uses the "--all"
flag deserves the danger that comes with the convenience.

Comments?

This is a sane default behaviour. Maybe introduce yet another flag 
"--no-remove", which says that removes should not be performed? But then, 
"--all" is mostly used by lazy people, who probably expect the removes to 
take place.
