Git exclude patterns with full static file, without globs, fails to capture the exclusion (the file is added anyway

Good afternoon,

This was very confusing to track down, I can't find any documentation that showcases this as intended behaviour.

I reviewed the pathspec docs quite a few times.

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) I executed

`git add -A ':(exclude,glob)lib/power.rb'`

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) The file `lib/power.rb` is excluded

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) The file `lib/power.rb` is added to staging However, if I run `git add -A ':(exclude,glob)lib/power\.rb'`

The file is excluded correctly

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

Anything else you want to add:

If I use `git add -A ':(exclude,glob)lib/*ower.rb'` the file is also excluded correctly, which makes this even more confusing
