From 1e3d90e0135274ad89cd8ee0722e2dd043ec0052 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 17:27:07 -0700
Subject: [PATCH] builtin-grep: tighten path wildcard vs tree traversal.

The earlier code descended into Documentation/technical when
given "Documentation/how*" as the pattern, which was too loose.
