Actually, it is less invasive than that. It _already_ silently ignores
empty directories, like "mkdir foo && git add foo". And because of the
way we chdir to the project root, that is equivalent to "mkdir foo && cd
foo && git add .".
This just extends the behavior to the project root ("mkdir foo && cd foo
&& git init && git add ."). So arguably it is reducing inconsistency. :)

Too bad it is not possible to rewind 'next'. ;)

This one has been sitting for a while. I was one of the complainers. If
there is interest, I can rework it according to our previous discussion
(but I'm beginning to wonder if anybody actually cares about this
patch).
