Is Git Add Supposed to Work Like This (git 2.50)?

(Linux fedora 6.16.4-200.fc42.x86_64)

Let's say I have the file "x" in my working directory, but not "bogus_file".

If I run

	git add x bogus_file

I get

	fatal: pathspec 'bogus_file' did not match any files

This is what I expect. However, if I look at what's in the index, "x" doesn't appear. The same thing happens if I specify 15 valid files followed by 1 invalid file.

Apparently the presence of even 1 invalid file invalidates the whole 'git add' command, no matter how many valid files are included.

Is this deliberate?
