IMO, if you put an empty string "" you would be implying the same as
with a dot (git add . ).

The important thing is that "git add" without a pathspec returns an
error, as it has always done, mainly because it people tend to work
without gitignoring all the files they should, and allowing such
behaviour would make things harder.
