I earlier suggested using 'I'; a safer alternative would be to change nothing and let the callers figure it out. I slightly favor the former; while there is a definite risk of breaking scripts' expectations, they can be tentatively marked "this script does not work until you 'git add' paths you used 'add -N'" and I don't think it would be such a big deal.
