add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd
A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of interest and only do work there: cd src vi foo.c make test git add -u git commit The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory, 'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant implementation detail. The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying because it seemingly serves no purpose in this case. So suppress the warning unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being added. A previous version of this patch ran two I/O-intensive diff-files passes: one to find changes outside the cwd, and another to find changes to add to the index within the cwd. This version runs one full-tree diff and decides for each change whether to add it or warn and suppress it in update_callback. As a result, even on very large repositories "git add -u" will not be significantly slower than the future default behavior ("git add -u :/"), and the slowdown relative to "git add -u ." should be a useful clue to users of such repositories to get into the habit of explicitly passing '.'.
