With one positional option, git-subtree add simply assumes it's a refspec. Is there an easy way to check whether a string is a proper refspec? Even better would be a way to check if a string is a path to a git repository. -David -- 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
