Indeed, only with one drawback that it can't mark all added/removed/edited
files at once.

Other questions related to this commit from bug#34949:

'*' has nice mnemonic of the verb "mark" (used in Dired as well), so
'* r' means "mark registered (files)".  The prefix will allow more keys.

> With '* r', we can just as well add '* u' now. Up to you, of course.

'* u' was not added because Drew opposed on the ground that it will
conflict with the same keybinding in Dired where it is bound to
'dired-unmark'.
