Yeah, I think that is sensible.
I am meaning to merge your retire-fnmatch topic to 'master'. What
should the Release Notes say for the upcoming release?
You can build with USE_WILDMATCH=YesPlease to use a replacement
implementation of pattern matching logic used for pathname-like
things, e.g. refnames and paths in the repository. The new
implementation is not expected change the existing behaviour of
Git at all, except for "git for-each-ref" where you can now say
"refs/**/master" and match with both refs/heads/master and
refs/remotes/origin/master. In future versions of Git, we plan
to use this new implementation in wider places (e.g. "git log
'**/t*.sh'" may find commits that touch a shell script whose
name begins with "t" at any level), but we are not there yet.
By building with USE_WILDMATCH, using the resulting Git daily
and reporting when you find breakages, you can help us get
closer to that goal.
