At the point of calling warn_pathless_add(), it seems that we are
triggering this for paths that are not necessarily modified when run
with "add -n -u".

Do you mean files that were touched but have no content change, or
something more subtle?

I had the change (which by the way needs a fix for the "found a
directory" codepath) on top of master, uncommitted, and no other
change (I also have some cruft that is not ignored).

    cd Documentation && ../git add -n -u

reported GIT-VERSION-GEN which was not touched.  It does not
reproduce, though...
