Hi,

I was tempted to ask this before, and the recent thread regarding "add -u/A" [1] convinced me to.

If #2 is indeed the direction we want to go, then maybe we should make that the default behavior from parse_pathspec()? I.e. rename the flag "PATHSPEC_EMPTY_MATCH_PREFIX" (or something). Makes sense?

Btw, Matthieu was asking where we use #1. If you do invert the name and meaning of the flag, then the answer to that question should be (mostly?) obvious from a re-roll of your series (i.e. all the places where PATHSPEC_EMPTY_MATCH_PREFIX is used).
