One of the reasons I proposed pathspec is to avoid another set of matching syntax in addition to gitattr, gitignore and pathspec, Pathspec magic makes it extensible, FNM_PATHNAME be set that way.

But this comes up a few times already on gitignore discussions. We have fnmatch.c in compat for Windows. Someone just needs to step up and implement "**". It would also a nice thing to add to pathspec syntax, if we can forget the backward compatibility nightmare.
