Removing --add-file entirely is certainly possible, but it's used in the
Makefile now and I can't imagine what would make its disposal necessary.
Turning it into a standard OPT_STRING_LIST option for full untracked
paths and using the last --prefix value for all archive entries would be
a more straightforward UI and might be versatile enough.
