 AFAICT it is by design. I fail to see why absolute paths should be
 supported, too. You are supposed to be _in_ the working directory when
 adding files...

Let's say I have $SRC that points to the dir of sources. Let's say
I am testing the software, somewhere under /tmp. I edit sources as
'vi $SRC/something' and I am not in $SRC. I could do 'make -C $SRC' and
I can do everything (incl checkins) without switching cwd back and
forth all the time.

git () { cd $SRC; ~/bin/git "$@"; } ?
