- - git-imap-send: Convert LF to CRLF before storing patch to draft box
169
+I am a bit torn on this one. Traditionally we never complained on
170
+unmatched pathspec when talking about tracked files. If we were to go
171
+this route, I think we should probably enhance the "run_diff_files" and
172
+friends in such a way that they mark matched pathspecs, in a way similar
173
+to match_pathspec() in dir.c does, and report unmatched ones based on
174
+that result, instead of adding an extra pass to scan the index. The same
175
+goes for pathspec_matches() in builtin-grep.c
176
35
-Cram-MD5 from the same author seemed to need another round before landing
36
-here, but this one seemed to be ready for 'pu'.
177
+Incidentally, I've proposed "pathspec unification" as possible GSoC'10
178
+project---with luck, we might finally see a progress on this front ;-)
