> The command addremove is genius

That's the default of what git does even without a command.

No it's not.

    [alias]
    addremove = !git add . && git add -u

That will do it though, so it's not too hard to add.

git add -A

Git does it on `git commit -a`.

No, it doesn't.

    -a, --all
        Tell the command to automatically stage files
        that have been modified and deleted, but new
        files you have not told Git about are not affected.

Ah, it's too long since I used hg. Thought it only picks up deletes.

No, git doesn't track renames — git _guesses_ them
