The use case I have for `git reset --stdin` is an IDE which wants to bulk-reset paths (and runs into command-line limitations without `--stdin`!), and definitely does *not* want to write a file. So I _really_ do not need `--paths-file`, and I doubt that anybody else needs it. Besides... -- snip -- $ git grep -l -e --stdin v2.23.0-rc0 -- Documentation/git-\*.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-check-attr.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-check-ignore.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-check-mailmap.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-checkout-index.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-cherry-pick.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-commit-graph.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-diff-tree.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-fetch-pack.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-hash-object.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-http-fetch.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-index-pack.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-ls-tree.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-name-rev.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-notes.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-rev-list.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-send-pack.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-svn.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-update-index.txt v2.23.0-rc0:Documentation/git-update-ref.txt -- snap -- So. Lots of precedent. Conversely: -- snip -- $ git grep -l -e --paths v2.23.0-rc0 -- Documentation/git-\*.txt -- snap -- Zilch. So I find the advice you received, let's say, interesting. In `git hash-object`, where it isn't obvious whether you would want to pass in options or paths via stdin, there seems to be `--stdin-paths`. I am open to that. I am not open to implementing `--paths` nor `--paths-file` in `git reset`. Ciao, Johannes
