[PATCH 0/1] doc: correct doc for glob pathspec

gitglossary(7) documents Git pathspecs, including "glob" pathspecs, prefixed by the magic word "glob". It states, incorrectly, that the glob pattern "**/foo" is equivalent to "foo".

I suspect this incorrect statement is the result of copying and pasting from gitignore(5).

This patch removes the incorrect statement.
