I do not think this is something we want to retroactively change after releasing it to the public, especially when we _know_ it is a problem from the get-go (unlike the case we did not notice it had a problem, release it to the public and then realize it and have to scramble to devise a fix to bring more sanity in a backward compatible way). We must either declare that "**" that matches any characters is the sane semantics and promise we will never change it, or have "**" that matches \(/[^/]*\)*/ (sorry for a line noise^W^W^Wregexp) from the beginning. -- 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
