You like that Git is different so don't use the --a-if-empty option. You
will have lost nothing by allowing that option in. So far I have read
arguments from people saying they don't want to USE the option. But no
arguments why there could not be such an option. And I'm not the only
one that would welcome such an option. Is there no room for a compromise?

My sincere advice is just to write the patch and submit it with an
example usage to illustrate your feature.

Prose aren't well received on this list (especially without concrete
code to reference).
