ÂThis is a backward incompatible change. Can we support quoting wildcards? I can imagine a file name such as '***DO NOT DO IT***'. People who wish to match exactly that file would have hard time ahead without a way to tell git those stars are literal. A prefix/special leading symbol or cmdline option to indicate the given pathspec is literal is fine too (e.g "!literal:***hey***" or --literal "***hey***"). In fact I can extend that to support negative pathspecs. -- Duy -- 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
