Subject: revision parsing: make "rev -- paths" checks stronger.
X-Git-Tag: v1.4.0-rc1~201^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ea92f41ff92b2fef54c8da4abb03c8101160a034;p=git.git

revision parsing: make "rev -- paths" checks stronger.

If you don't have a "--" marker, then:

 - all of the arguments we are going to assume are pathspecs
   must exist in the working tree.

 - none of the arguments we parsed as revisions could be
   interpreted as a filename.

so that there really isn't any possibility of confusion in case
somebody does have a revision that looks like a pathname too.

The former rule has been in effect; this implements the latter.
