So the command is discoverable.

Also, googling a bit gives me this:

  http://git-scm.com/docs/git-stage

It's not particularly visible, but it's discoverable.

I did :-\.

I can very well live without it, but the few people like me who
sometimes run "git stage" would be surprised if it stopped working
without a deprecation period.

(In my case, I read the thread so it's OK, but there may be others)

If you go for it, there's also the completion script:

_git_stage ()
{
        _git_add
}
