If necessary, better rewording to remove confusion is very much
appreciated.

"update-index <path>..." without options (that is "Default
behaviour") updates the index using the contents of the named
<path> found on the filesystem.  It does _not_ add new paths to
the index, nor remove paths (that exists in the index) from the
index.

Giving --add allows new paths to be added to the index if named
paths are found on the filesystem.  Giving --remove allows
existing paths to be removed from the index if named paths are
not found on the filesystem.
