Yes, that can work, for example like this (replacing the patch you're
replying to).

Subject: add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd

A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of
interest and only do work there:

	cd src
	vi foo.c
	make test
	git add -u
	git commit

The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a
workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory,
'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an
implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant
implementation detail.

The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying
because it serves no purpose in this case.  So suppress the warning
unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being added.
