Subject: [PATCH 11/19] switch: stop accepting pathspec

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 16:48:23 +0700

This command is about switching branch (or creating a new one) and
should not accept pathspec. This helps simplify ambiguation
handling. The other two ("git checkout" and "git restore") of
course do accept pathspec as before.
