The warning triggers in some cases where it shouldn't, relating to
submodules:
$ git submodule add gitosis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:domjudge.git domjudge
Adding existing repo at 'domjudge' to the index
warning: In Git 2.0, 'git add <pathspec>...' will also update the
index for paths removed from the working tree that match
the given pathspec. If you want to 'add' only changed
or newly created paths, say 'git add --no-all <pathspec>...' instead.
It also seems to hint that the problem is with giving a 'pathspec', but
in fact in the case of a "proper" pathspec (that isn't an existing path)
it does *not* trigger, even though it probably should:
$ git ls-files
foo
$ rm foo
$ git add 'f*'
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# deleted: foo
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
$ git add -A 'f*'
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# deleted: foo
#
# Untracked files not listed (use -u option to show untracked files)
That's of course assuming that you want to unconditionally make -A the
default.
