44 +
45 +This was more of an RFC in that slurping a potentially huge file into

33 - - 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 ;-)
