So if that reasoning is sound, I think we want to just leave git-add's
behavior as it is currently (with my patch from earlier in this thread
applied, of course). You get different error messages for "git add *.c"
and "git add '*.c'", but that is only natural. You also get different
_behavior_, and that is intentional.

Yeah, I think that makes sense.
