Replace filepattern with pathspec for consistency
pathspec is the most widely used term, and is the one defined in gitglossary.txt. <filepattern> was used only in the synopsys for git-add and git-commit, and in git-add.txt. Get rid of it. This patch is obtained with by running: perl -pi -e 's/filepattern/pathspec/' `git grep -l filepattern` Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
