As promised, here is a rerolled version of the "make pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning less noisy", incorporating patches from jc/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec. Thanks for your help so far. Just like jc/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec, the only transition in this series is the "pull the bandaid" kind. That is, there are two steps: 0. the current state, where the warning is a little too noisy 1. the current state but with the warning only firing in cases where the user will be affected by the change to default 'git add -u' behavior 2. no more warning, 'git add -u' defaulting to 'git add -u :/' Patch 1 is the same as in jc/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec, included for reference. Patches 2-5 correspond to the original patches 1-4. Any changes are described after the '---' in each patch. Patch 6 is just the patch from the tip of jc/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec, rebased. It is meant to be applied in the 2.0 cycle.
