    warning: The behavior of 'git add --update (or -u)' with no path argument from a
    subdirectory of the tree will change in Git 2.0 and should not be used anymore.

There is a logic gap between "will change" and "should not be used"
that is not filled like the text in the manual page does.

I guess it is not so bad after all, if you read the entire message,
not just the first two lines.

Also, the warning is meant to be read by a user who just typed
"git add -u", so it is expected that the user knows what it does in
current (or past) versions of Git.
