I like how this series is going and it's going to be a nice new feature.
 Some comments...

It would be helpful if you would use

    --subject-prefix='PATCH v3'

etc. to help spectators keep track of the different versions of your
patch series.

It seems odd that you add a leading slash in this example.  I assume
that is because of the rule that a pattern containing a slash is
considered anchored at the current directory.  But I find it confusing
because the addition of the leading slash is not part of the rule you
are trying to illustrate here, and is therefore a distraction.  I
suggest that you write either

- A trailing "/**" matches everything inside. For example,
  "/abc/**" is equivalent to "`/abc/`".

or

- A trailing "/**" matches everything inside. For example,
  "abc/**" is equivalent to "`abc/`" (which is also equivalent
  to "`/abc/`").

I don't like the last rule.  (1) This construct is superfluous; why
wouldn't the user just use a single asterisk?  (2) Allowing this
construct means that it could appear in .gitignore files, creating
unnecessary confusion: extrapolating from the other meanings of "**"
users would expect that it would somehow match slashes.  (3) It is
conceivable (though admittedly unlikely) that we might want to assign a
distinct meaning to this construct in the future, and accepting it now
as a different way to spell "*" would prevent such a change.

Perhaps this rule was intended for backwards compatibility?

I think it would be preferable to say that other uses of consecutive
asterisks are undefined, and probably make them trigger a warning.
