I should read things more carefully. There is also this information in
one of the bullets:
An asterisk "*" matches anything except a slash. The character
"?" matches any one character except "/". The range notation,
e.g. [a-zA-Z], can be used to match one of the characters in a range.
See fnmatch(3) and the FNM_PATHNAME flag for a more detailed
description.
So this series does not attempt to properly work with globs, and I'll
need to test those a bit. Certainly they shouldn't work in cone mode,
so an extra patch to remove those would be simple. Input sanitizing
would be interesting, and I'll see what `git ls-tree` would output
with paths containing these characters.
