Anything with --no-index is a quick hack, so I wouldn't be surprised if it ignored the normal pathspec logic. As I do not recall the details of the particular codepath and offhand do not know how involved a change to pay proper attention to the pathspecs would be, but I suspect that it would be more appropriate to fix it on top of nd/struct-pathspec topic than writing the current behaviour down in the documentation outside of BUGS section as if it were a feature ;-). -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
