Like `-u`, but match <pathspec> against files in the
working tree in addition to the index. That means that it
will find new files as well as staging modified content and
removing files that are no longer in the working tree.
Update the index not only where the working tree has a file
matching <pathspec> but also where the index already has an
entry. This adds, modifies, and removes index entries to
match the working tree.
