rm: support the --pathspec-from-file option Decisions taken for simplicity: 1) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file. Adjustments were needed for `if (!argc)` block: This code actually means "pathspec is not present". Previously, pathspec could only come from commandline arguments, so testing for `argc` was a valid way of testing for the presence of pathspec. But this is no longer true with `--pathspec-from-file`. During the entire `--pathspec-from-file` story, I tried to keep its behavior very close to giving pathspec on commandline, so that switching from one to another doesn't involve any surprises. However, throwing usage at user in the case of empty `--pathspec-from-file` would puzzle because there's nothing wrong with "usage" (that is, argc/argv array). On the other hand, throwing usage in the old case also feels bad to me. While it's less of a puzzle, I (as user) never liked the experience of comparing my commandline to "usage", trying to spot a difference. Since it's already known what the error is, it feels a lot better to give that specific error to user. Judging from [1] it doesn't seem that showing usage in this case was important (the patch was to avoid segfault), and it doesn't fit into how other commands react to empty pathspec (see for example `git add` with a custom message). Therefore, I decided to show new error text in both cases. In order to continue testing for error early, I moved `parse_pathspec()` higher. Now it happens before `read_cache()` / `hold_locked_index()` / `setup_work_tree()`, which shouldn't cause any issues.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
