"git add -A && git status && behappy && git commit".
There are alternatives like
git status && behappy && git commit -A

git commit -A && look at status $EDITOR && behapy && save
Also, "-A" supports a very "un-gitty" way of using git. This makes it
unlikely that someone cares to implement it...
I guess that's it. It's not usefull to most Git developers, hence nobody
cared to implement it. But IIRC the switch "add -A" was chosen partly
because -A didn't exist for commit, hence this leaves room for commit
-A.

That may not give the full picture of untracked stuff in subdirs.

Yes, I even mentioned that, but you cut it. Bad bad boy! ;)

Yes.
So, we have one more volunteer for the plan just laid out, right?

May I ask why not? AFAIK git status outputs staged and untracked stuff.

I think it *can* be used in an appropriate manner.
BTW: Why isn't commit -a »un-gitty«?
