I fail to see why absolute paths should be supported, too. You are supposed to be _in_ the working directory when adding files...
Since it is by design, a posible solution could be support an optional parameter to give the program the path of the directory (something as --dir /a/b). Then you could build a command line to be run from another place, without using absolute paths in the rest of parameters. Maybe it would be easier to implement by interested people. Anyway, I don't need this feature, too. I think that if currently the program does not support absolute paths, this should be clearly stated in error messages and check for that in a centralized place. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
