In the documentation for .gitattributes, "[[:space:]]" is mentioned in
a code snippet but is
not documented, and neither is the glob syntax escape from the
documentation page for
.gitignore ("\ ") not working with .gitattributes.For example, in a .gitattributes file the first glob will work, but the second will not. my[[:space:]]directory/**/* my\ directory/**/* The opposite is true with .gitignore. I got caught up for a number of minutes trying to figure out why my escapes weren't working in the fancy-pants .gitattributes I whipped up, and I'd figured it'd be worth saving someone else the trouble. It could very well be documented somewhere I'm not aware of beside the code snippet, but I wasn't able to find it seldom a github issues search, so I think it'd be worth putting on the .gitattributes page.
