and other commands operate on the entire tree regardless of where you
are. In this release, these commands give warning in such a case and
encourage the user to say "git add -u/-A ." instead when restricting
the scope to the current directory. At Git 2.0 (not *this* one), we
plan to change these commands without pathspec to operate on the

At Git 2.0 (not *this* one), we plan to change these commands without
pathspec to operate on the entire tree. Forming a habit to type "."
when you mean to limit the command to the current working directory
will protect you against the planned future change, and that is the
whole point of the new message (there will be no configuration
variable to squelch this warning---it goes against the "habit forming"
objective).

* Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was
affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH.
* An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES could be a "logical" pathname
that uses a symbolic link to point at somewhere else (e.g. /home/me
that points at /net/host/export/home/me, and the latter directory
is automounted). Earlier when Git saw such a pathname e.g. /home/me
on this environment variable, the "ceiling" mechanism did not take
effect. With this release (the fix has also been merged to the
v1.8.1.x maintenance series), elements on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
are by default checked for such aliasing coming from symbolic
links. As this needs to actually resolve symbolic links for each
element on the GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, you can disable this
mechanism for some elements by listing them after an empty element
on the GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES. e.g. Setting /home/me::/home/him to
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES makes Git resolve symbolic links in
/home/me when checking if the current directory is under /home/me,
but does not do so for /home/him.
