Once you cd into "subrepo", you are in a different world, a world
different from the toplevel project.  "git add ." over there should
mean "add everything in subproject's working tree to subproject's
index", shouldn't it?  On the other hand, "git add subrepo" without
leavingin the working tree of the superproject is about binding the
submodule to the superproject's index.

I do not think these two should be the same.  Where am I mistaken?
