Shortcoming of -a Switch with git commit

git commit -a -m 'blabla'

I have noticed that -a switch does sometimes not add all files or folders like it does with

git add . --all

Can anybody confirm this?

git commit -a ignores files git doesn't already know about, e.g. new files, moved files or directories.

More explanation can be found with

man git-commit and looking at the -a and --all option.
