In the git-commit documentation, pre-commit is always verbatim. For consistency, pre-add typeset as verbatim makes sense.

I was not talking about the choice of words.  If pre-commit
interferes before a commit is made in 'git commit', pre-add is a
natural phrase to use to interfere 'git add'.

It was a comment only on how it is typeset in the documentation,
e.g., should it be `pre-add` (for verbatim), 'pre-add', _pre_add_,
etc.
