Users may hit this with a lot of other unix tools (sed, grep, find, etc). So, we can expect either they already know the issue; or they are discovering it using Git. Most of the tools I talk about do have a manual section about globbing. Users could learn globs with Git too and expect the same behaviour somewhere else. -- Nicolas Sebrecht -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
