[PATCH 0/4] make pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning less noisy

Hi,

I suspect the need for this config option is a sign that the warning is too eager. After all, the whole idea of the change being safe is that it shouldn't make a difference the way people usually use git, no?

In other words, how about the following patches? With them applied, hopefully no one would mind even if the warning becomes a fatal error.

Looking forward to your thoughts,

Jonathan Nieder (4):
  add: make pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning a file-global function
  add: make warn_pathless_add() a no-op after first call
  add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd
  add -A: only show pathless 'add -A' warning when changes exist outside cwd
