Ok, thanks for the explanation.

I think that
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-add.html
could deserve an update.

My understanding is that <filepattern> is related to $GIT_DIR,
but "." is the current directory. 

I will be happy to write a patch,
(or to review one, whatever comes first)
