Re: [PATCH] Remove duplicate pathspecs from ls-files command line

Does anything speak against sorting the pathspecs?  That is an O(n log
n) operation,

Not sorting is O(0) operation without losing cycles for the
normal case.  I think you can sort first in that error handling
path to avoid O(n^2) but sorting upfront to remove duplicates
for every case is unnecessary bloat that penalizes sane callers.
