[PATCH] commit: detect misspelled pathspec while making a partial commit.

From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date: Feb 14, 2006, 20:46 UTC
Message-ID: <7vfymlr7n8.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

When you say "git commit Documentaiton" to make partial commit for the files only in that directory, we did not detect that as a misspelled pathname and attempted to commit index without change. If nothing matched, there is no harm done, but if the index gets modified otherwise by having another valid pathspec or after an explicit update-index, a user will not notice without paying attention to the "git status" preview.

This introduces --error-unmatch option to ls-files, and uses it to detect this common user error.

 * Pasky, does this address the issue you mentioned earlier on
   the #git channnel?
