From bebb5d6d6bf64d5b5f175af81db1e0e2fa1c5ccb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2019 14:02:13 +0000 Subject: add: support the --pathspec-from-file option Decisions taken for simplicity: 1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with `--interactive/--patch/--edit`, even when is not `stdin`. Such use case it not really expected. Also, it would require changes to `interactive_add()` and `edit_patch()`. 2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.
