Considering that git provides 'commit -a' option which practically
eliminates staging area.

Moreover, the author of very popular Pro Git book
(http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository)
in "Skipping the Staging Area" section says:

"Although it can be amazingly useful for crafting commits exactly how
you want them, the staging area is sometimes a bit more complex than you
need in your workflow. If you want to skip the staging area, Git
provides a simple shortcut. Adding the -a option to the git commit
command makes Git automatically stage every file that is already tracked
before doing the commit, letting you skip the git add part..."

which led me to conclude that we can live in Fossil without it. ;)
