An earlier commit d089ebaa (setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths) made get_pathspec() aware of absolute paths, but with a botched interface that forced the callers to count the resulting pathspecs in order to detect an error of giving a path that is outside the work tree. This fixes it, by dying inside the function. We had ls-tree test that relied on a misfeature in the original implementation of its pathspec handling. Leading slashes were silently removed from them. However we allow giving absolute pathnames (people want to cut and paste from elsewhere) that are inside work tree these days, so a pathspec that begin with slash _should_ be treated as a full path. The test is adjusted to match the updated rule for get_pathspec(). Earlier I mistook three tests given by Robin that they should succeed, but these are attempts to add path outside work tree, which should fail loudly. These tests also have been fixed.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks 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. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. 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. 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 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
