Would it be too disruptive to make "registering" a new file with Git a no-op, and then require the user to commit it by going to VC Dir and marking it? That's the only alternative I can think of, given that it's common to have lots of untracked, unignored files around you don't intend ever to commit.
I suppose we could use a more complex check in Git's case: if the diff is non-empty, check that it doesn't intersect with the diff we want to apply, or where it does, the contents are exactly the same. It's more complex than the existing one-liner, though.
The commit-and-amend thick is the first that came to my mind too, but the above would be more flexible, I guess.
And as for dropping the "registering" step in Git, I suppose that might speed up the overall workflow for some people (myself included, probably), but it still wouldn't allow you to check in new files together with a partial diff in existing one. I think.
