I was extremely skeptical about this approach due to leading wildcards
like "*.c" or "sub*/*.h" but found this comment inside math_pathspec_item():

		/*
		 * Here is where we would perform a wildmatch to check if
		 * "name" can be matched as a directory (or a prefix) against
		 * the pathspec.  Since wildmatch doesn't have this capability
		 * at the present we have to punt and say that it is a match,
		 * potentially returning a false positive
		 * The submodules themselves will be able to perform more
		 * accurate matching to determine if the pathspec matches.
		 */
		return MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC;

So it looks like it will return MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC as
expected by this block below:

I can't say that I fully understand the change to this patch yet, but at
least my initial "THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY WORK!" reaction has been tempered.

Thanks,
