Re: [PATCH] make commit --interactive lock index

+	assert (!(interactive && pathspec && *pathspec));
As pathspec is specified indirectly by the user, I think an assert() here is actively wrong.
But the program may still guarantee a condition by checking it elsewhere. I don't need to teach you about that, do I? In particular, the assert checks that this:

if (interactive && argc > 0)
        die("Paths with --interactive does not make sense.");

... is equivalent to !pathspec || !*pathspec.

Okay, I have to spell it out:

I think that the assert() here is not helpful at all, and that you should rather do the "if () die()" thingie.

The "if() die ()" thingie is already in builtin-commit.c, so we won't ever get a pathspec in the "add --interactive" case. If we do, something else has already been done incorrectly before -- not by the user but by the programmer.
