Bug Description
It would be *really* useful if apt-add-repository had a -u|--update flag, that would immediately trigger an apt-get update on a successful repository addition.
It seems I *always* run:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:foo/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
Rarely, if ever, are these two decoupled for me. It would be nice if I could just tell apt-add-repository to JFDI ;-)

I would argue that apt-add-repository should automatically update after adding. If there is a good reason for it not to do this automatically then adding -u would be a good compromise.
