Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Revert part of 744dacd (builtin-mv: minimum fix to avoid losing files)
Message-ID: <1204887286-32574-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1204887286-32574-1-git-send-email-gitster%40pobox.com

```
When get_pathspec() was originally made absolute-path capable,
we botched the interface to it, without dying inside the function
when given a path that is outside the work tree, and made it the
responsibility of callers to check the condition in a roundabout
way.  This is made unnecessary with the previous patch.
