Subject: [PATCH] pathsec: make check for PATHSPEC_LITERAL more readable
Message-ID: <pull.1453.git.git.1734493992236.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

```
From: Seija Kijin <doremylover123@gmail.com>

This check is designed to die if global_magic
has the PATHSPEC_LITERAL and any other setting.

This can be written is a much more obvious way:
if global_magic has PATHSPEC_LITERAL, it can only
BE PATHSPEC_LITERAL, and if it isn't then there are
other settings.
