You really do want to be telling git not "here is the list of files I care about" but "I really care about anything _except_ this set". And I don't think that is currently possible, so a patch would be necessary (and I think is justified, since there is no other way to do it). The most flexible thing would be the ability to say "I want these paths (or all paths), and exclude these paths" (sort of like we already do for commits). But defining a good command-line syntax for that would probably be painful, and I really think the only sane use case is "I want all paths except for these". In which case your "--invert-match" seems like a good route. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
