Yes. You need to explicitly add your changes to the index.
git add doc/org.text
then git commit -m "message" will behave as you expect.
(Using "git commit -a" worked, because that is like doing a "git add" to
all modified files.)
It sounds like you misunderstand what "git add" does. If you read a
little bit more about git workflows, I think it will make sense to you.
Perhaps the following link would be useful:

Hope that helps,
