That's such a vague statement, I've not sure how to take it.

I use the staging area a lot, so I think I have a pretty clear idea of what
it's "about", but I also often use "commit FILE" or "commit -a" for simple
cases; even when splitting a change into multiple commits, it's often more
convenient to do "commit FILE..." instead of "add FILE; commit".

I agree that having "commit DIR" add new files would likely be more
annoying than helpful (it's not uncommon to have some temporary files
laying around), but given that "commit FILE" is _explicitly_ naming the new
file, it seems hard to imagine somebody would be surprised if it worked
even when FILE was a new file...
