No you won't.   

If you don't use update-index, then index will match HEAD and you will commit 
changes in the working tree.  That is the way for newbies

As soon as you do the first update-index the index will no longer match HEAD, 
so commit will do the same as it does now.

And if you are not sure which you have done then presumably you do what you do 
now, or git commit -a or git commit -i as you need.
