I don't want to change that arbitrarily. I don't understand that statement. If "git add" is all about specifying what lives under paths in the worktree, what's wrong with letting "git add" go beyond specifying just files? Syntax aside for the moment, I think a command like git add git-repo-reference foo is perfectly natural: It specifies what is inside worktree path foo.
