Good.
I wonder if we should start thinking about removing the big
"NEEDSWORK" comment in front of this function.
Also the pathspec_magic[] array was the table-driven way that was
meant to be enhanced to fit future needs to parse all supported
types of pathspec magic, but it seems that "prefix:12" magic is
implemented using a custom/special case code. We may want to see if
we want to enrich the parser to fold this to match the table-driven
approach better someday---this is not urgent as we are not adding
any new pathspec magic now.
Will queue. Thanks.
