I do not think this is what we discussed to do.

It was very much deliberate to make the way to "squelch the warning" not a "set once and *forget*", aka configuration variable, but a simple-to-type extra command line argument i.e. "git add -u .", that you will *always* type to train your fingers to explicitly say what you mean, so that the default switch will not matter to existing users.
