  - add: don't complain when adding empty project root
 
+When you say "git add ." in an empty directory, you get "No path matches
+''", instead of "No path matches '.'", and this "fixes" it by hiding the
+error and making the command silently succeed.  Strictly speaking it
+introduces inconsistency, but I think an empty directory is so
+uninteresting special case that not signalling it as an error is Ok.
