I tested the automatic expansion of wildcards on windows and linux.

Here is my program:

#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<argc; i++)
{
printf("%d: %s\n",i,argv[i]);
}
return 0;
}

I built it as "tester" and ran this command-line:

tester *.asm

windows shell/command-line does nothing. It displays:

0: tester.exe
1: *.asm

I am used to writing windows command-line tools and I am used to doing all the 
hard work of parsing the parameters, handling wildcards etc.
I guess fossil is doing the same for the windows build.

I tested it on linux (ubuntu, bash shell) and it does expand it unless I 
surround it with quotes.

without quotes:

tester *.asm
0: tester
1: changemode.asm
2: changecolour.asm

but with quotes:

tester "*.asm"
0: tester
1: *.asm

So in theory I should be able to put it in quotes and fossil can then allow me 
to revert multiple missing files.
