Package: cruft
Version: 0.9.6-0.13
Severity: normal


Hi, 

I discovered the '**' wildcard in the filter example in the README.gz
file.  However, this wildcard isn't a standard glob (not in "man 7
glob").  So although I think the semantics are probably intuitive, I
personally would rather see it spelled out explictly in the event there
are corner cases worth considering.  Also, are there any other
non-standard wildcarding cruft allows?  And do all the standard patterns
documented in "man 7 glob" apply to the filter files or only a subset?
I'd like for the documentation to address all these issues succinctly;
just a few more lines in README.gz should do the trick.

Regards,
Sukant Hajra
