Hello, Before b5227d8, the following two commands would produce different outputs (say on git.git): git ls-files git ls-files -x '*.c' >From b5227d8 onward, they produce the same output. The second command no longer excludes *.c files. I was unable to understand the commit message completely but it sounds like this was intentionally changed to do this. I've never been real clear on ls-files, and was wondering if someone would be able to clarify the various ways of using it, including why this change was made and is there a way (using some other combination of flags perhaps) to get a list of files without *.c (to continue this example).
