Research direction
Start at the Commands.Stage(...) entry point and inspect how StageOptions currently controls which changes are added. Reproduce the reported behavior on the stated LibGit2Sharp version, then define completion as supporting an option equivalent to git add -u without staging newly added files; add or update coverage for that behavior if the existing test structure identifies a suitable location.
