That is not the issue I was pointing out. Even though you parse the
pathspec into args->pathspec, the "if() { while () {} }" here still
uses strings contained in **pathspec, as if they are literal strings
and not ":(glob)Documentation" and such, and will not match the named
directory.
Technically, erroring out saying "':(glob)Documentation' does not exist
as a path in the tree" is correct, but it would be nicer to have the
code inspect parse_pathspec() result and independently barf, saying
"this command does not support magic pathspecs, give me leading paths
and nothing else", until we do support magic pathspecs, no?
