Message-ID: <pull.474.git.1574538937.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

This allows passing a tree-ish git reset -p without specifying a pathspec.
Requiring a commit in this situation appears to be an oversight, and support
for a tree-ish is documented by git-reset's manpage. (
https://github.com/git/git/blob/d9f6f3b6195a0ca35642561e530798ad1469bd41/Documentation/git-reset.txt#L12
)

An alternative implementation of this change would move the if (patch_mode)
{ ... return; } check before the rev parsing logic, offloading validation of
the rev argument when in patch mode to the git-add--interactive logic. This
would be possible as the parsed oid is not passed to git-add--interactive. (

)
