This is such a good idea that I went into the time machine and arranged for it to be implemented in June 2012:
<pre>
import [path ...]
Moves files from somewhere outside the git work‐
ing copy, and adds them to the annex. Individual
files to import can be specified. If a direc‐
tory is specified, all files in it are imported,
and any subdirectory structure inside it is pre‐
served.
git annex import /media/camera/DCIM/
</pre>
I don't see much use for `--copy-only` though. so did not implement it them (also I needed to spend some of my time at the race track). It seems to me that using `--copy-only` as you describe it would do everything except for add the files to git. You can get the same behavior by using `git annex import`, which only stages the new files but does not commit them, and then moving files around and running `git annex add` on them, followed by committing.
