I agree.  That seems very much like the correct behavior.  FWIW, prior
to sending the patch I hadn't noticed that 'git add file' already
works without a '-f', which is why my commit message doesn't mention
it.

Anyway, I'm not sure if there's consensus on this being the right
behavior.  Thus I will take Matthieu's advice and propose a test-case
for the desired behavior.  I'll send that under separate cover in a
few moments.

Thanks everyone for contributing your thoughts thus far.

Greg
