yep thanks :) I know you _could_ do it with xargs - but you _could_ use the raw git commands too. This is a "be nice to the user" layer and I was 'surprised' that neither git add . nor git add -r . worked.

That meant that I had to fix it so I started with the ability to handle a list and, since I got a friendly response, I can hopefully move on to help make git nicer to use for mere mortals.
