The use case:
I'm doing a 'git stash pop'; it had conflicts. At this point, 'git status' shows:
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# modified: Target.java
#
# Unmerged paths:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
# (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark resolution)
#
# both modified: DriveByInches.java
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: CommandBasedAutonomous.java
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# AerialAssist2014/src/org/usfirst/frc1939/AerialAssist2014/Autonomous/
As part of the conflict resolution, I decide to unstage Target.java:
stephe@takver$ git reset Target.java
Unstaged changes after reset:
M CommandBasedAutonomous.java
U DriveByInches.java
M Target.java
stephe@takver$ echo $?
1
The issue is the error status and the messages about other files.
If I had not specified a path to 'git reset', the error status would
make sense; those files were not reset. However, since the file I
specified was reset, there should be no error.
Similarly, if I specify no path to a git command, I expect warning
messages about files in the workspace that might need attention.
However, if I do specify a path, I expect warning messages about files
in that path only.
This can be stated more concisely if the default path is considered to be
"*" (and recursive); don't error if the operation succeeded for all
files in the path; don't warn about files not in the path.
