-git-add - Add files to the index file.
+git-add - Add files to the index file
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-add' [-n] [-v] <file>...
+'git-add' [-n] [-v] [--] <file>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-v::
Be verbose.
+--::
+ This option can be used to separate command-line options from
+ the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
+ for command-line options).
+
DISCUSSION
----------
The list of <file> given to the command is fed to `git-ls-files`
-command to list files that are not registerd in the index and
+command to list files that are not registered in the index and
are not ignored/excluded by `$GIT_DIR/info/exclude` file or
`.gitignore` file in each directory. This means two things:
(i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it does not
add `subdir/git-foo.sh` to the index.
