Because the pathspec mechahism is for you to tell an operation that
works on a collection of paths (e.g. "all the paths in the HEAD",
"all the paths at stage #1 in the index") to narrow the set it
operates on down to only those that match, I do not think it is a
good match at all to what you are trying to do.
