This sounds like a good #leftoverbits topic for new-ish people to
work on, with help from old timers?  I do agree that the entry in
the glossary has grown to be way too big.  The pathspec magic itself
should be mentioned there in the glossary, but the details of it
feels a bit too much and the topic probably deserves its own manual
page, just like gitrevisions(7) has one.

Thanks.
