This topic continues the effort to support `--pathspec-from-file` in various commands [1][2]. It also includes some refactorings that I developed while working on it - previously submitted separately [3][4] which was probably a mistake. Anatomy of the branch: checkout, restore: support the --pathspec-from-file option Extends `--pathspec-from-file` to `git checkout/restore`. t2024: cover more cases Some new tests for cases that I deemed worthy while working on `parse_branchname_arg()` refactoring. parse_branchname_arg(): refactor the decision making parse_branchname_arg(): update code comments parse_branchname_arg(): introduce expect_commit_only parse_branchname_arg(): easier to understand variables These patches prepare for `|| opts->pathspec_from_file` addition in `git checkout/restore` patch. Without this refactoring, I found it pretty hard to modify the old code. checkout: die() on ambiguous tracking branches parse_branchname_arg(): extract part as new function Initially I was trying to remove some inconsistency standing in the way of `git checkout/restore` patch. Later I figured that this change is worthy on its own: it prevents some pretty surprising behavior of git. doc: restore: synchronize <pathspec> description doc: checkout: synchronize <pathspec> description doc: checkout: fix broken text reference doc: checkout: remove duplicate synopsis Some polishing of docs in preparation for `git checkout/restore` patch. add: support the --pathspec-from-file option cmd_add: prepare for next patch Extends `--pathspec-from-file` to `git add`. commit: forbid --pathspec-from-file --all t7107, t7526: directly test parse_pathspec_file() Some polishing of merged topic [1].
