Research direction

Start with the Python Index.add_all function and the underlying libgit2 git_index_add_all function named in the issue. Trace how arguments are passed to the binding, expose the flags argument including the force behavior, and verify that directories matched by .gitignore can be added.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,

Sometimes I have to add directories matched with .gitignore to repository. libgit2 function git_index_add_all have force flag for this. But pygit2 does not have argument for flags. Is it possible to add such argument in future releases?
