+       Pattern used to specify paths.

+</p>

+<div class="paragraph"><p>Pathspecs are used on the command line of "git ls-files", "git

+ls-tree", "git grep", "git checkout", and many other commands to

+limit the scope of operations to some subset of the tree or

+worktree.  See the documentation of each command for whether

+paths are relative to the current directory or toplevel.  The

+pathspec syntax is as follows:</p></div>

+<div class="ulist"><ul>

+<li>

+<p>

+any path matches itself

+</p>

+</li>

+<li>

+<p>

+the pathspec up to the last slash represents a

+  directory prefix.  The scope of that pathspec is

+  limited to that subtree.

+</p>

+</li>

+<li>

+<p>

+the rest of the pathspec is a pattern for the remainder

+  of the pathname.  Paths relative to the directory

+  prefix will be matched against that pattern using fnmatch(3);

+  in particular, <em>*</em> and <em>?</em> <em>can</em> match directory separators.

+</p>

+<div class="paragraph"><p>For example, Documentation/*.jpg will match all .jpg files

+in the Documentation subtree,

+including Documentation/chapter_1/figure_1.jpg.</p></div>

+</li>

+</ul></div>
