Hi,

update-cache seems to ignore paths containing path components
starting with a dot:

	pi% update-cache --add ./test.c
	Ignoring path ./test.c
	pi% update-cache --add test.c
	pi%

This is slightly annoying as 'find -type f | xargs update-cache --add'
doesn't work because of this.  ('find * -type f | ...` does.)  Instead
of ignoring the file, can we just strip off the leading "./" ?
