(Not a documented or an expected -behavior.) - -This causes problems when eg, the user does `git annex add *.jpeg` and that -matches no files, but there are some jpegs in subdirectories. git-ls-files -re-expands the wildcard and finds those. - -Seems that the best fix is to make Git.LsFiles paper over this git -misfeature, by always escaping wildcards in paths passed -to git-ls-files. AFAIK, no callers of Git.LsFiles expect to provide it -wildcards, because I was completely surprised when I learned they were -expanded.. --[[Joey]] - -> [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]] |
