If you have symbolic links somewhere along the path, it is easy to get wrong. This line of thought got me confused: would $ ln -s /tmp x $ touch x/y $ git add x/y work? *clicketyclick* Yes, it does. It ignores the fact that x is not a directory, but a symbolic link. Lots of opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot. Think about the consequences of doing something like this in one repository, where "x" points into another one...
