Subject: [PATCH] add: cut redundant require_pathspec logic
Message-ID: <20130306072414.GA15534@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20130306072414.GA15534%40biohazard-cafe.mit.edu

```
If take_worktree_changes is true, then the logic around
option_with_implicit_dot ensures argc is positive by this point.
So require_pathspec never has an effect.
