Isn't the manual page you linked to absolutely explicit about why your pattern does not match anywhere in the directory tree? It even gives an example.
For further details, google for man+3+fnmatch and read on its behaviour. If you need the pattern to match anywhere in the tree, prepend "**/" without the quotes to it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
