Subject: [PATCH v1 43/45] pathspec: make --literal-pathspecs disable pathspec magic

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:06:58 +0700

--literal-pathspecs and its equivalent environment variable are
probably used for scripting. In that setting, pathspec magic may be
unwanted. Disabling globbing in individual pathspec can be done via
:(literal) magic.
