Re: adding file by absolute name -- problem

When I give absolute pathname /a/b/repo/d to git add, it

It's pretty much by design in the sense that none of us felt any
need for accepting absolute pathnames, and I personally still
don't.  But I do not have a strong feeling against accepting a
patch series that adds support for accepting absolute pathnames,
as long as it is done cleanly and obviously.
