[jc: culled people other than those in the "magic pathspec" discussion
from CC list]
Wouldn't it be more sensible to add a bit ("is this a glob or are we
expected to match it literally") to each element in the pathspec array,
and pass a pathspec whose elements are all marked as "literal" down from
ls-tree?
The internal matcher (and traversal optimizer) would need to become aware
of "not a glob" match (and possibly different kinds of matches like "**/"
support) sooner or later, and when that happens you would need something
like the above on the caller side in ls-tree.
