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.
