This is in "patches welcome" category.

The option, IIRC, is more about filesystem errors (failure to read), not
about safety against user errors (specifying otherwise ignored paths).
If you are automating something that uses xargs to drive addition to the
index, and the feeder to xargs knows better than .gitignore files, then
probably your script should be using '-f' unconditionally. So I do not
see why you would think #2 could be a bug.
