the change for you.

(Btw, current versions of git will consider the change in question to be
so big that it's considered a whole new file, since the diff is actually
bigger than the file. So the helpful comments that git-commit-script
tells you for this example will say that you deleted and re-created the
file "a". For a less contrived example, these things are usually more
obvious).

You've now made your first real git commit. And if you're interested in
looking at what git-commit-script really does, feel free to investigate:
it's a few very simple shell scripts to generate the helpful (?) commit
