Nevik Rehnel a2b78e9a60 Add --all to git-add call (dirs)
The call to `git add` for directories previously used the argument `.` while
being in the target directory. In current Git versions, this produces a warning
about the upcoming changes to `git add` behavior.

To remove this warning and make `git add` behave like we want it, now and in
coming Git versions, we added the `--all` switch to the call (as suggested in
the aforementioned warning). This will include removals as well as additions in
the index.

# Will check the availability of both commands using the `which` command
