There's another case where it would be hard to decide what's "The
Right Thing":

vi existing-file.c # do some changes
vi new-file.c      # create the file
git add new-file.c
git commit

If you take the SVN semantics, the last "git commit" should commit the
changes to existing-file.c. But keeping the current Git semantics, it
doesn't. There are valid reasons why a user can type the above
sequence with today's Git, and changing it would be backward
incompatible, and would make the senario a lot more painfull.
