You're probably right; the pathspec validation is probably not necessary (and you may recall that my original patch didn't include it; I only tried adding after you said it might be appropriate to have the "--error-unmatch" behaviour). This is probably more convenient for the user, as it allows them to pass "sloppy" parameters like the following:

	git-add -i *.h

(Note that's "*.h" and not "\*.h"). In the Git repository, without validation, this just works. With strict validation, it would complain:

	error: pathspec 'common-cmds.h' did not match any file(s) known to git.

So just forgetting about the validation is probably the right thing to do.

As for adding the --patch option, I'll stand back and see if someone more skilled than I wants to do it; should only be a few lines and will save traffic to the list because they'll probably get it right first time.
