The following modification to the t2200-add-update.sh shows that the git-add -u from the subdirectory does not work with path limiters.
The test modification alone fails on master. I've tried the revision 93c44d49 'git-add: allow path limiting with -u', which introduced 'git-add -u', and it fails the test as well.
So technically, this feature never worked. I use it as
[alias] ci = add -u # used to be #ci = update-index # and worked
and the simplest workaround is to use git-add instead of git-ci.
