Hi Marcelo,
Let's say the "base directory" of a git repo is the one in which you
issued "git init" and which contains a hidden ".git" subdirectory. You
can add files from anywhere in the directory tree rooted at the base
directory. In other words, if you make a git repo in your home directory
cd ~
git init
you can add files from any subdirectory of your home directory. Just an
idea.
