Unifiy wording to say "to stage" instead of "to add" always.

With this patch I'd propose to talk every only about "stage" instead  
of "add". IMHO that's just the logical conclusion of the above wording  
decision. What do you think?

Yes, I agree.  This is a necessary change, the current wording is
very confusing.

Looking at the expressions used in the application from the
point of view of translating the words to (or expressing the
concept in) another language helps finding more appropriate
wording even in the original language.

"Add" is a simple and nice word, but it is too broad, so "to
stage" is an improvement.  The translated message for "to stage"
for Japanese we will probably end up choosing would translate
back to English as "Schedule for commit".
