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.
