Which case this particular request falls into, is a matter of judgement, but such a feature looks "generally useful" to me.
The annoying thing, of course, is that commit and add already have inconsistent long options for this type of functionality (commit --all vs add --all). [I'd consider that a bug, regardless of whether commit gets -A type functionality, but I suppose it's too late to fix...]
