These explanations make sense. I think it would be better to put part of
it in commit messages, so that future contributors can "git blame" the
doc/implem of these --stage and find them (i.e. avoid the
misunderstanding that occured with "git stage" command which was
proposed for removal).

Yes, but which commit? All of them? Perhaps it would make sense to add a link
to the cover e-mail, or add an explanation in Documentation/gitstagingarea.txt
or something.

Putting the explanation about --stage in the first commit about it, and
then saying something like "continue the work on --stage" in the next
messages would make sense to me.
