Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] wildmatch: use char instead of uchar

From: Masahiro Yamada <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 20:50:20 +0900

dowild() casts (char *) and (uchar *) back-and-forth, which is
ugly.

This file was imported from rsync, which started to use (unsigned char)
since the following commit:

 | commit e11c42511903adc6d27cf1671cc76fa711ea37e5
 | Author: Wayne Davison <[email-masked]>
 | Date:   Sun Jul 6 04:33:54 2003 +0000
 |
 |     - Added [:class:] handling to the character-class code.
 |     - Use explicit unsigned characters for proper set checks.
 |     - Made the character-class code honor backslash escapes.
 |     - Accept '^' as a class-negation character in addition to '!'.

Perhaps, it was needed because rsync relies on is*() from <ctypes.h>.

GIT has its own implementations, so the behavior is clear.

In fact, commit 4546738b58a0 ("Unlocalized isspace and friends")
says one of the motivations is "we want the right signed behaviour".

sane_istest() casts the given character to (unsigned char) anyway
before sane_ctype[] table lookup, so dowild() can use 'char'.
