If I don't know which files I may be touching in the future for
implementing some feature, then I am obliged to add all the files even
if they are irrelevant. I said "performance reasons" assuming all the
file hashes need checked for every commit -a to see if they're
changed, but I just tried on a PIII and it seems not so slow.
