Ok, I will ;) I come from a school where we didn't like things (files
included in a commit) magically happen. I do fairly often use-and-trash C
(or Perl or whatever) test source files that are used to test something
and that I do not want to be included in my commits. I do not care of
doing {add, delete, move}-tag to include only things that I want to be
included. It is not absolutely my plan to force everyone to share this
methodology, like at the same time you should recognize that people are
used to do things in different ways.
