Thanks a lot for the patches, Junio!

I am using them for two days, and my experience is great!
Many times it saved me annoyances of forgetting to put '-a' to 'git commit'.

It should be noted, that I mostly used 'git-commit files...'
or 'git-commit -a' forms before.

Someone said, that default '-a' does not go well with 'git-commit --amend',
and I second that. It was somewhat suprising to see that 'git commit --amend'
is going to include all of the dirty state into the commit,
and since there is no easy way to abort a --amend commit (because the comment
buffer wasn't empty, and :q! does not work as it would on the regular commit),
I had to untwine the changes manually.
