This would not be very useful since "git add" errors out when called without arguments ;-).

The accurate description of your code would be closer to "When the first argument is not a subcommand, it's a synonym for linkgit:git-add[1].". I'm not sure I like it, as it creates ambiguities (e.g. need to spell "git stage -- diff" to add a file called "diff". Not a strong objection though, as we already have refs Vs filename ambiguities in many places.
