2013-10-18	checkout: proper error message on 'git checkout foo bar --'	Matthieu Moy	1	-0/+6
	The previous code was detecting the presence of "--" by looking only at argument 1. As a result, "git checkout foo bar --" was interpreted as an ambiguous file/revision list, and errored out with: error: pathspec 'foo' did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec 'bar' did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git. This patch fixes it by walking through the argument list to find the "--", and now complains about the number of references given.

2008-07-24	git-checkout: improve error messages, detect ambiguities.	Pierre Habouzit	1	-0/+50
	The patch is twofold: it moves the option consistency checks just under the parse_options call so that it doesn't get in the way of the tree reference vs. pathspecs desambiguation. The other part rewrites the way to understand arguments so that when git-checkout fails it does with an understandable message. Compared to the previous behavior we now have: - a better error message when doing: git checkout <blob reference> -- now complains about the reference not pointing to a tree, instead of things like: error: pathspec <blob reference> did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git. - a better error message when doing: git checkout <path> -- It now complains about <path> not being a reference instead of the completely obscure: error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git. - an error when -- wasn't used, and the first argument is ambiguous (i.e. can be interpreted as both ref and as path).
