Subject: [PATCH 6/6] git add: -u/-A now affects the entire working tree

From: Jonathan Nieder <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:53:17 -0700

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>

As promised in 0fa2eb530fb7 (add: warn when -u or -A is used without
pathspec, 2013-01-28), in Git 2.0, "git add -u/-A" that is run
without pathspec in a subdirectory updates all updated paths in the
entire working tree, not just the current directory and its
subdirectories.
