[PATCH] git-add: allow path limiting with -u

[Jeff King <peff@peff.net>]

Rather than updating all working tree paths, we limit
ourselves to paths listed on the command line.

This turned out to be quite easy to implement. Patch is slightly larger
than necessary due to removing _all_ from the variable names, but I
think that better expresses the new functionality.

I'm not sure that the documentation needs updated at all; I had just
assumed after reading it that 'git-add -u foo' would DWIM.
