From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>
The set and add subcommands accept multiple positional arguments.
The meaning of these arguments differs slightly in the two modes:
Cone mode only accepts directories. If given a file, it would
previously treat it as a directory, causing not just the file itself to
be included but all sibling files as well -- likely against users'
expectations. Throw an error if the specified path is a file in the
index. Provide a --skip-checks argument to allow users to override
(e.g. for the case when the given path IS a directory on another
branch).
Non-cone mode accepts general gitignore patterns. There are many
reasons to avoid this mode, but one possible reason to use it instead of
cone mode: to be able to select individual files within a directory.
However, if a file is passed to set/add in non-cone mode, you won't be
selecting a single file, you'll be selecting a file with the same name
in any directory. Thus users will likely want to prefix any paths they
specify with a leading '/' character; warn users if the patterns they
specify exactly name a file because it means they are likely missing
such a missing leading slash.
