I've noticed the following text in the documentation pages for the 
`update-index` command:

       <file>
           Files to act on. Note that files beginning with .  are discarded. 
This includes ./file and
           dir/./file. If you don't want this, then use cleaner names. The same 
applies to directories
           ending / and paths with //


It seems that the phrase "files beginning with .  are discarded." is incorrect, 
because update-index works correctly on files like `.gitignore`. It also seems 
that even names like `./file` are handled correctly after 
cfb0af1d50247e66ea1d46014650e60e9cfb87b9. Could you please verify and fix the 
doc if needed.

Thanks!
Kirill.
