 If you access directories that are slow to load (such as those on a tape drive, or across a slow network connection), you may want to have Git stop trying earlier than it might otherwise, especially if Git is invoked when building your shell prompt.

 A ``pathspec'' refers to how you specify paths to things in Git, including the use of wildcards.
 These are used in the `.gitignore` file, but also on the command-line (`git add *.c`).
 
-*`GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS` and `GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS`* control the default behavior of wildcards in pathspecs.
+*`GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS`* and *`GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS`* control the default behavior of wildcards in pathspecs.
 If `GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS` is set to 1, wildcard characters act as wildcards (which is the default); if `GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS` is set to 1, wildcard characters only match themselves, meaning something like `*.c` would only match a file _named_ ``*.c'', rather than any file whose name ends with `.c`.
 You can override this in individual cases by starting the pathspec with `:(glob)` or `:(literal)`, as in `:(glob)*.c`.
