I tried using escaped globs with git mv, but globs don't seem to be expanded with git mv. So, for example, I've got files file1 & file2, and have been editing them, so I've got file1~ and file2~ also, and *~ is in .gitignore. If I do: $ mkdir newdir $ git mv file* newdir I get a 'fatal: not in repository' error because I'm trying to move untracked files. Since we can do git add file\*, I tried: $ git mv file\* newdir I get a 'bad source, source=file* destination=file*' error. It seems to be looking for a file named 'file*' rather than performing glob expansion. If I do: $ rm *~ $ git mv file* newdir Everything works as expected. It would be convenient if git mv expanded escaped globs.
