Note that files beginning with .  are discarded. This includes ./file and\n           dir/./file. If you don't want this, then use cleaner names. The same applies to directories\n           ending / and paths with //\n\n\nIt seems that the phrase \"files beginning with .  are discarded.\" is incorrect, because update-index works correctly on files like `.gitignore`. It also seems that even names like `./file` are handled correctly after cfb0af1d50247e66ea1d46014650e60e9cfb87b9. Could you please verify and fix the doc if needed.\n\nThanks!\nKirill."}]}
