git-add used to take the path limiters, but always considered them as top-level paths, and thus didn't work from subdirectories. However, using git-add -u from subdirectories is very convenient, especially when development is done from within a subdirectory, (e.g. for easier grepping), as it allows to use a universal incantation 'git-add -u .' from anywhere. Documentaion for git-add does not mention if the paths were supposed to be relative to current directory of from the top, and the relative paths are far more intuitive. Signed-off-by: Salikh Zakirov <redacted> --- The trivial test added with this patch failed before the patch and passes after. All tests pass with this modification on my machine (Linux/i686). Note that the potentially incorrect 'git-add -u ; git commit' behaviour is not affected by this patch and still can cause horribly incorrect commits. builtin-add.c | 8 ++++---- t/t2200-add-update.sh | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
