DESCRIPTION
-----------
The "index" holds a snapshot of the content of the working tree, and it
is this snapshot that is taken as the contents of the next commit. Thus
-after making any changes to the working directory, and before running

the commit command, you must use the `add` command to add any new or
modified files to the index.

to ignore removed files; use `--no-all` option if you want
to add modified or new files but ignore removed ones.

tree or not.
+--no-warn-embedded-repo::
+ By default, `git add` will warn when adding an embedded
+ repository to the index without using `git submodule add` to
+ create an entry in `.gitmodules`. This option will suppress the
+ warning (e.g., if you are manually performing operations on
+ submodules).
+
+--renormalize::
+ Apply the "clean" process freshly to all tracked files to
+ forcibly add them again to the index. This is useful after
+ changing `core.autocrlf` configuration or the `text` attribute
+ in order to correct files added with wrong CRLF/LF line endings.
+ This option implies `-u`.
+
+--chmod=(+|-)x::
+ Override the executable bit of the added files. The executable
+ bit is only changed in the index, the files on disk are left
+ unchanged.

This option can be used to separate command-line options from
