"git add Documentation/" when Documentation directory exists
does not barf (as it should not), but "git add ." barfed when it
did not add anything. This was because we checked for the path
prefix ("Documentation/" in the former case, and an empty string
in the latter case) for existence, and lstat("", &st) would say
"Huh?".

This is in the same spirit as what bba319b5 and 45e48120 tried
to do to help users. A command such as "git add Documentaiton"
with misspelled pathspecs would give a friendly reminder with
this.

First try. Let's see how well this works.
In many ways, the hard parts of "git commit" are not so different from
this, and a builtin commit would share a lot of the code, I think.
