Most git commands that can be used with our without a filepattern are
tree-wide by default, the filepattern being used to restrict their scope.
A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u' and 'git add -A'.

The inconsistancy of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' are particularly

s/consistan/consisten/;

Thanks, will fix.

I wonder if we want to say in the message

	The behaviour of 'git add --all (or -A)'...

otherwise people who typed "git add -A" and got this message with
just "--all" may go "Huh?" for a brief moment.  I however do not
think replacing these strings to

	option_with_implicit_dot = "--all (-A)";

is a solution, given they are goven to _("l10n template %s").

Plus, option_with_implicit_dot is used in cut-and-paste ready commands
below. I can easily add another variable short_option or so to display
both. Ideally, we should use whatever the user had typed, but that does
not seem easy to do with parse-option so I'd say it's overkill.
