When we provide a pathspec which does not match any tracked path
alongside --include, we do not error like without --include. If there
is something staged, it will commit the staged changes and ignore the
pathspec which does not match any tracked path. And if nothing is
staged, it will print the status. Exit code is 0 in both cases (unlike
without --include). This is also described in the TODO comment before
the relevant testcase.

Fix this by passing a character array to add_files_to_cache() to
collect the pathspec matching information and error out if the given
path is untracked. Also, amend the testcase to check for the error
message and remove the TODO comment.

No need to free(ps_matched) immediately before exiting.  There are
other recources (like pathspec) we are holding and not clearing, and
we do not want to bother cleaning them all.

As we have another "if failed, die()" immediately after this hunk,
adding another exit() would be OK.  Shouldn't we be exiting with 128
to match what die() does, though?

Other than that, looking good.

Understood.

I tried to match the exit code with the existing invocations of the same
when doing partial commit and reporting path errors. In
builtin/commit.c:

511	if (list_paths(&partial, !current_head ? NULL : "HEAD", &pathspec))
512		exit(1);

list_paths() returns the return value of report_path_error().

Thanks.
