Subject: git add -A fails in empty repository since 1.8.5
Message-ID: <CAEcj5uWHpem+5os+3Mc_a42pk6f30i4UiV=LRPdXkoqiy1jQ_w@mail.gmail.com>

This was discussed on the Git user list recently [1].

#in a repo with no files
> git add -A
fatal: pathspec '.' did not match any files

The same goes for git add . (and -u).

Whereas I think some warning feedback is useful, we are curious
whether this is an intentional change or not.
