From a047fafc7866cc4087201e284dc1f53e8f9a32d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:25:57 +0200 Subject: checkout: allow dwim for branch creation for "git checkout $branch --" The "--" notation disambiguates files and branches, but as a side-effect of the previous implementation, also disabled the branch auto-creation when $branch does not exist. A possible scenario is then: git checkout $branch => fails if $branch is both a ref and a file, and suggests -- git checkout $branch -- => refuses to create the $branch This patch allows the second form to create $branch, and since the -- is provided, it does not look for file named $branch.

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.
