Good one. So "add" used internally there needs to say --no-add?

We have seen users who explicitly say:
git add dir
after removing dir/del and adding dir/ins got surprised that we do
not notice removal of dir/del without "add -A". And it is fairly
straight-forward to check and warn for such a case.

I thought what the warning text says is what we decided to do
eventually. Not "unconditionally", but "with <pathspec>", but not
"only with pathspec that exactly matches an existing path". It
appears that we would better discuss and decide such details
further, so let's revert the "warn early" bits from master and kick
the topic back.
