+--pathspec-from-file=<file>::
+       Pathspec is passed in `<file>` instead of commandline args. If
+       `<file>` is exactly `-` then standard input is used. Pathspec
+       elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
+       quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`
+       (see linkgit:git-config[1]). See also `--pathspec-file-nul` and
+       global `--literal-pathspecs`.

+--pathspec-file-nul::
+       Only meaningful with `--pathspec-from-file`. Pathspec elements are

 \--::
        This option can be used to separate command-line options from
        the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
        for command-line options).
 
 
-CONFIGURATION
--------------
-
-The optional configuration variable `core.excludesFile` indicates a path to a
-file containing patterns of file names to exclude from git-add, similar to
-$GIT_DIR/info/exclude.  Patterns in the exclude file are used in addition to
-those in info/exclude.  See linkgit:gitignore[5].
