Honestly, there is nothing to ameliorate.  We do not even document
git-add--interactive on purpose.

Once I saw somebody who somehow got a root account on a shared UNIX box
and tryed running everything he found under /sbin one after another
without understanding what he was doing.  Needless to say, the box did
not last too long.  Somehow that "tab completion" comment reminds of
him.
