Just a poke again about what I brought up in the thread you replied to
in
https://public-inbox.org/git/CACsJy8CLHQ0mKhKXvTDAqy9TLwEFBSvHEu5UbPxHX4is2mK+Cg@mail.gmail.com/

I.e. the documentation of these various wildmatch() / attributes
patterns we support is all over the place. Some in gitignore(5), some
not documented at all, and some in gitglossary(7) (which really should
not be serving as primary documentation for anything).
