Any particular reason for choosing a different letter than the
-a/--all that git commit uses?
Haven't I explain that elsewhere already?

Yes, in [off-list ref].
Specifically:
I picked "-u" instead of "-a" because I wanted to stress that
this is about "updating" (which has connotation that it is
relative to something, and in this case it is relative to the
current "index"), and not about "all", which "-a" would imply.
