vc-git-checkin uses the '-a' switch.

https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-commit.html

    -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.

If you don't use other vc systems, you might be happier with a
git-specific Emacs frontend like magit (https://magit.vc/)
