Well, not good as-is. This makes it barf on this sequence: $ rm -f junk $ cd junk $ git init-db $ date >frotz $ mkdir nitfol $ date >nitfol/rezrov $ git add . ;# OK up to this point - added everything. $ git add . ;# This is bogus because... fatal: pathspec '' did not match any files $ git add nitfol ;# ...this does not barf. I admit I did not spot it when I read the code, but this part gets an empty string for 'match' when pathspec is '.'. > + /* Existing file? We must have ignored it */ > + match = pathspec[i]; > + if (!lstat(match, &st)) > + continue; > + die("pathspec '%s' did not match any files", match); That's why '.' barfs but nitfol doesn't. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
