Without this patch "git commit file.c file2.c" produces the not
so stellar output:
error: pathspec 'file.c' did not match any.
error: pathspec 'file2.c' did not match any.
With this patch, the output is changed to:
error: pathspec 'file.c' did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec 'file2.c' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
