I am struggling to think of a situation where it would be harmful or
even undesirable to perform an update after the add.  In which case
possibly the default should be to do the update, with a switch to
prevent it.

Title:
  [feature request] add a -u|--update flage

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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 ;-)
