Thanks, both.

Regarding "git add --refresh" (no other arguments), it would say "Nothing specified, nothing added.", and that is unrelated to the breakage reported and fixed in this thread, I think. It is the same message "git add" (no other arguments) gives, which I think is a mistake. "git add --refresh" is like "git add -u" in that the affected paths are determined by the index, and running these commands while your index is still empty can just be a silent no-op.
