That is a bug, plain and simple.  Duy any ideas where we went wrong?

I think we already have code to avoid adding beyond symlinks.
"git add deep/in/the/tree" should refuse if deep/in is a symbolic
link (and happens to point at a directory that has the/tree in it).
We used not to catch that long time ago, but I think we fixed it.

The logic and the places to do the checks for "no, that thing may be
a directory but is an unrelated repository" should be the same.
