I had problem when translating this word "Existing" in my old translation. I did not understand what that expression meaned. My old translation for "Add Existing To Commit" said, because I did not understand what it meant, "Add Some Existing THING To Commit", and it felt very wrong, but I could not come up with anything better.

It makes me wonder if there is a corresponding "Add unexisting" command somewhere else, but adding something that does not exist makes no sense to me.
