Hi GIT Gurus,

Highlighting files (in patch view) and commits which modified those files is a really nice feature to have. Often it is needed to highlight based on a glob expression for files, e.g. '*Makefile*' -- that seems to highlight the commits but files in the patch view are no longer highlighted, which significantly reduces usefulness of such a feature.

Also, those choices (Exact/IgnCase/Regexp) seems to have no relation with the edit box when looking for "touching path" files, so shouldn't it be somehow disabled/emptied to avoid users trying to create the ultimate filepattern regexp for no good reason? (the same for next field on where to search through -- All Fields/... ) ;)
