update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
When "sym" is a symbolic link that is inside the working tree, and it points at a directory "dir" that has "path" in it, "update-index --add sym/path" used to mistakenly add "sym/path" as if "sym" were a normal directory. "git apply", "git diff" and "git merge" have been taught about this issue some time ago, but "update-index" and "add" have been left ignorant for too long.
