Some git commands like git check-attr supports receiving paths from stdin. For other commands like "git diff" and "git commit --only" I have not found a way to supply a lot of paths (say 1000). Is there a standard way pass a additional paths to git commands that works on windows and unix? It would be nice to have --stdin option for all commands that might receive a set of paths. Or even better would something like "--options-from-stdin" and "--options-from-file=file.txt" as a possible last argument specified on the command line.
