git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-all
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"), the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit "--ignore-removal". The "--all" option naturally becomes its negation, "--no-ignore-removal". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This option is primarily to help the current users of Git, whose
"git add <pathspec>..." ignores removed files. In future versions
