From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.
`if (!argc)` block was adapted to work with --pathspec-from-file. For
that, I also had to parse pathspec earlier. Now it happens before
`read_cache()` / `hold_locked_index()` / `setup_work_tree()`, which
sounds fine to me.
In case of empty pathspec, there is now a clear error message instead
of showing usage. As a consequence, exit code has also changed. Judging
from [1] it doesn't seem that showing usage in this case was important
(according to commit message, it was to avoid segfault), and it doesn't
fit into how other commands react to empty pathspec. Finally, the new
error message is easier to understand.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
@@ -73,6 +75,19 @@ For more details, see the 'pathspec' entry in linkgit:gitglossary[7].
`git rm` normally outputs one line (in the form of an `rm` command)
for each file removed. This option suppresses that output.
+--pathspec-from-file=<file>::
+ Pathspec is passed in `<file>` instead of commandline args. If
+ `<file>` is exactly `-` then standard input is used. Pathspec
+ elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
+ quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`
+ (see linkgit:git-config[1]). See also `--pathspec-file-nul` and
+ global `--literal-pathspecs`.
+
+--pathspec-file-nul::
+ Only meaningful with `--pathspec-from-file`. Pathspec elements are
+ separated with NUL character and all other characters are taken
+ literally (including newlines and quotes).
