PATCH Brings pattern matching closer to git:
- PATCH A backslash now makes the next character a literal, exactly as
gitdoes:\*matches a literal*rather than acting as a wildcard,\?matches a literal?, and\d,\b,\/and the like are the plain characters instead of regular-expression escapes. - PATCH Only a trailing run of spaces is stripped from a pattern — never tabs or other whitespace — and a line of only tabs is treated as a pattern rather than a blank line, matching
git.
An upgrade is recommended for all dependents.
