To clarify, think what that non-pathspec means when used like this:
$ git diff :(size>1M)
$ git log --follow :(size>1M)
Which side of comparison does the "size" thing apply? Either, both,
randomly? More importantly, what use case of users do these
commands serve?
That is why I said that pathspec should never consider anything but
the pathname string you see.
