Yeah, we might want to update that. Wildmatch is basically fnmatch() compatible, but it understands "**" (which I _think_ is the reason we picked it up in the first place). I think we dropped it into place by default because "**" is otherwise meaningless for fnmatch. I don't think there are any other differences between the two, but Duy probably knows offhand. It looks like we mention fnmatch() in a few places in the documentation, and AFAIK each of these is now outdated. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
