Subject: [PATCH 6/6] t3001: note about expected "**" behavior

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 14:39:52 +0700

"**" currently matches any characters including slashes. It's probably
too powerful. A more sensible definition may be match any characters
that the but the whole match must be wrapped by slashes. So "**" can
match none, "/", "/aaa/", "/aa/bb/" and so on but not "aa/bb".

Note it in the test suite.
