No commit log message?  Justification?

Justification: adding absolute paths was not caught properly on Windows,
and this was the easiest patch.

However, IIRC, in the meantime we are nice to the user, and allow absolute paths (which we turn into a relative path, or error out if it is not under
the current working directory).

Steffen, can you revert the patch and verify that my memory does not fail
me?

Is

   git add /c/msysgit/git/read-cache.c

an appropriate test?

It fails with

   error: 'c:/msysgit/git/read-cache.c' is outside repository

no matter if the commit is reverted or not.

        Steffen
