This is equivalent to setting the `GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS` environment
variable to `1`.
---glob-pathspecs:
+--glob-pathspecs::
Add "glob" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
the `GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS` environment variable to `1`. Disabling
globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec
magic ":(literal)"
---noglob-pathspecs:
+--noglob-pathspecs::
Add "literal" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
the `GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS` environment variable to `1`. Enabling
globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec
magic ":(glob)"
---icase-pathspecs:
+--icase-pathspecs::
Add "icase" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
the `GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS` environment variable to `1`.
Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
pathspecs as case-insensitive.
+'GIT_REFLOG_ACTION'::
+ When a ref is updated, reflog entries are created to keep
+ track of the reason why the ref was updated (which is
+ typically the name of the high-level command that updated
+ the ref), in addition to the old and new values of the ref.
+ A scripted Porcelain command can use set_reflog_action
+ helper function in `git-sh-setup` to set its name to this
+ variable when it is invoked as the top level command by the
+ end user, to be recorded in the body of the reflog.
