I would have thought "git add --ignore-errors" would do what you want, but it only ignores errors in reading the file. If we can't stat it, we will always die. IMHO that is an oversight in how "--ignore-errors" works (why should this one particular error be treated as fatal, when others are not?). However, I have to wonder what your workflow is to really want this. If you do: $ ls foo bar baz $ git add foo bar bz fatal: pathspec 'bz' did not match any files Then presumably your next command would be: $ git add foo bar baz Using ignore-errors (if it worked), you would probably do: $ git add baz Less typing, I suppose, but presumably you are using a shell that lets you just go back and edit the previous command line. I could see it if your workflow were something like "in a script, add these N files if they exist, but it is not an error if they don't". But I still don't think you would want to ignore all errors; you would want to do something like: $ git add $(for i in foo bar baz; do test -e $i && echo $i; done) instead.
