Git supprts an extra level of globbing. In the kernel tree, try the difference between these two command lines: git ls-files fs/*.c git ls-files 'fs/*.c' and enjoy. It's _very_ useful for a number of programs (including "git add") but I find it _especially_ useful for something like git grep jiffies -- '*.h' where the git-level globbign is important. Not all git programs do that globbing, but many do.
