True, it is not just "checkout". There is no such thing as "directory" in git UI, in that sense. When you say: git checkout [<tree-ish>] -- pathspec you may be using the same string as the name of an existing directory, but that does not change the fact that you are giving a pathspec pattern to specify the set of paths in the index (or in the <tree-ish>) that matches the pathspec. -- 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
