Thanks. I haven't noticed that.

But I think it is not the best place to keep this documentation.
There are the following issues with it:

* it is hard to find; I did not search _glossary_ for information
  about how Git handles pathspecs, I would search it if I didn't know
  what pathspec means.

* it is longest entry in glossary, and the only one with nested
  list, but

* it is also too short to describe how Git handles pathspecs in detail,
  and a bit cryptic; there are no examples (so grepping docs for '":/"'
  didn't found it).
