- Junio, do you mean to suggest with your comment that when passing
untracked files either directly or indirectly (ie. when passing a dir
containing untracked files) that they should be added (ie. invoked the
"add untracked" subcommand) in addition to running the "patch"
subcommand on the changed files?
What I meant was that if "git add -i" (unrestricted) shows paths
from a set A, "git add -i paths..." should show paths from a
subset of the set A and that subset should be defined with the
existing ls-files pathspec semantics.

For example, if "(a)dd untracked" subcommand shows all untracked
files when "add -i" was invoked without paths limitation, the
restricted form "add -i paths..." would show only untracked paths
that match the given set of patterns.  If "(p)atch" subcommand
shows all modified tracked files when "add -i" was invoked
without paths limitation, the restricted form "add -i paths..."
would show only such modified tracked files whose names match
the given set of patterns.
