I am serious about that. I haven't thought of it as an independent

Okay now joke part. This command name is better :-D

$ git commit
[...]
nothing to commit
$ dammit
$ git commit
Givor: You haven't marked any file for commit using "git-update-index <file>"
Givor: and you didn't provide files to commit with "git commit <file>"
Givor: so I assume that you wanted to commit all changed files
Givor: You can use "git commit -a" for that (-a is for --all)
