- Pattern used to specify paths.

-Pathspecs are used on the command line of "git ls-files", "git
-ls-tree", "git add", "git grep", "git diff", "git checkout",
-and many other commands to
-limit the scope of operations to some subset of the tree or
-worktree. See the documentation of each command for whether
-paths are relative to the current directory or toplevel. The
-pathspec syntax is as follows:
-
-* any path matches itself
-* the pathspec up to the last slash represents a
- directory prefix. The scope of that pathspec is
- limited to that subtree.
-* the rest of the pathspec is a pattern for the remainder
- of the pathname. Paths relative to the directory
- prefix will be matched against that pattern using fnmatch(3);
- in particular, '*' and '?' _can_ match directory separators.

-For example, Documentation/*.jpg will match all .jpg files
-in the Documentation subtree,
-including Documentation/chapter_1/figure_1.jpg.

-A pathspec that begins with a colon `:` has special meaning. In the
-short form, the leading colon `:` is followed by zero or more "magic
-signature" letters (which optionally is terminated by another colon `:`),
-and the remainder is the pattern to match against the path. The optional
-colon that terminates the "magic signature" can be omitted if the pattern
-begins with a character that cannot be a "magic signature" and is not a
-colon.
-+
-In the long form, the leading colon `:` is followed by a open
-parenthesis `(`, a comma-separated list of zero or more "magic words",
-and a close parentheses `)`, and the remainder is the pattern to match
-against the path.
-+
-The "magic signature" consists of an ASCII symbol that is not
-alphanumeric.

-top `/`;;
- The magic word `top` (mnemonic: `/`) makes the pattern match
- from the root of the working tree, even when you are running
- the command from inside a subdirectory.

-Currently only the slash `/` is recognized as the "magic signature",
-but it is envisioned that we will support more types of magic in later
-versions of Git.

-A pathspec with only a colon means "there is no pathspec". This form
-should not be combined with other pathspec.
