[PATCH 1/1] doc: correct doc for glob pathspec
gitglossary documents Git pathspecs. One type of pathspec is the "glob" pathspec, prefixed with the magic word "glob".
Regarding glob pathspecs, gitglossary says, '"**/foo" matches file or directory "foo" anywhere, the same as pattern "foo".' That last phrase ('the same as pattern "foo") is incorrect. "**/foo" and "foo" are not equivalent. "**/foo" matches foo anywhere, but "foo" does not.
This change removes the incorrect phrase from the glob pathspec doc.
