I don't like it when non-git tools do that by default. I'm sure it's nice for some people, so make it an option that could be enabled. But to have that behavior by default feels far too opinionated for me.
People generally develop tools for their own needs. I'm not saying "hey, if you want one that uses the defaults you believe are best, create your own", but just keep some empathy for open source developers. :)
