It seems like you're looking for the -A option to "git add".

I don't want to run "git add -A" before commit, I want to use "git commit -A -m 'msg' " instead.

if you need it that often add to your .bashrc: gcA(){ git add -A && git commit -m "$@"; }
which is even faster.

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...]

The reason I deliberately chose to use capital letter in "add -A" even when we do not have "add -a" was exactly so that interested parties can do "commit -A" to match it (and "commit -a" is doing the _right_ thing out of the box, and its behaviour will not change). Hopefully you can take it as a strong hint that I personally do not think "commit -A" is without merit.
So far, nobody stepped up to do it, though. I have been taking it as a sign that "commit -A" is not one of the commonly desired features but is probably closer to your "odd/unusual". It's up to the user/developer community to change that ;-)

With regard to anything that can be changed for the better, the vast majority of people shrug their shoulders, groan, and use what's already available to them.
