Specifying the root may seem innocuous, but it is inconsistent with
"git diff" and "git commit [-a]", which don't care where in the tree
you are.

You can always use "$(git rev-parse --show-cdup)." as the root.

Thanks for the tip. I'll note that this is not exactly easy to
discover, though, and it's quite some typing. Since git add -p and git
add -i seem capable of determining the root themselves, maybe there
should be a way to do the same for -u? Or even make it the default?
