Jeff King 823ab40fd4 add global --literal-pathspecs option 
Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the
scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as
literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to
fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a
nice feature.

However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be
a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which
modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if
"$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will
erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller
needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the
results may not be exactly the same as with a literal
pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in
match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch.

This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e.,
one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn
this behavior off. It also has a matching environment
variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or
porcelain interface that is going to issue many such
commands.

This option cannot turn off globbing for particular
pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)"
magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is
more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)"
right would mean converting the whole codebase to use
"struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec"
cannot represent extra per-item flags.

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival
sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
