If "git add -A Documentation/" silently ignores the pathspec and
does not limit the application of "-A" to the Documentation
directory, then I think that is a bug worth fixing.
$ git init trash && cd trash
$ mkdir t s
$ >t/1 && >s/2
$ git add -A t
$ git ls-files
t/1
It does seem to honor the pathspec "t" and refrains from adding s/2
to the index, so I do not think there is anything to fix here,
though.
By the way, on the command line of "git", dashed command options
come before the non-dashed command line arguments, so make it a
habit to spell "git --add <file_name>".
