Hmm, the "git add" manual suggests it is the other way around:

 -A, --all
	Like -u, but match <filepattern> against files in the working
	tree in addition to the index. That means that it will find new
	files as well as staging modified content and removing files
	that are no longer in the working tree.

So I would expect "git add -A" to do the same thing as "git add -u", plus handling added files.

Maaartin, could you give an example showing where add -A goes wrong?
