When passing untracked path with -u option, it silently succeeds. There is no error message and the exit code is zero. This is inconsistent with other instances of git commands where the expected argument is a known path. In those other instances, we error out when the path is not known. Fix this by passing a character array to add_files_to_cache() to collect the pathspec matching information and report the error and exit if a pathspec does not match any cache entry. Also add a testcase to cover this scenario.
