+GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS::
+ Setting this variable to `1` will cause git to treat all
+ pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example,
+ running `GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 git log -- '*.c'` will search
+ for commits that touch the path `*.c`, not any paths that the
+ glob `*.c` matches. You might want this if you are feeding
+ literal paths to git (e.g., paths previously given to you by
+ `git ls-tree`, `--raw` diff output, etc).
