Do git-add *needs* path specifier (even if it is '.') also for `-u'? The changes in documentation were to reflect that `-u' is incompatibile with explicit paths, or that `-u' does not require explicit paths contrary to git-add without `-u'.

The fact that "add --interactive does not take any parameters" is separate issue (which, accidentally, was adressed in the same patch).
