Prevent git-ls-files from double-expanding wildcards when an unexpanded wildcard is passed to a git-annex command like add or find.
Note that previously, `git annex find *.jpg` would find eg, foo/bar.jpg. That was never intended or documented behavior, so I'm going to change it. But this is potentially a behavior change if someone discovered that behavior and relied on it despite it being accidental. Oh well.. can't make an omlette w/o breaking some eggs.

From the forum, it seems that git-ls-files very unexpectedly expands
|
||||
wildcards in filenames passed to it. (Not a documented or an expected
|
||||
behavior.)
|
||||
|
||||
This causes problems when eg, the user does `git annex add *.jpeg` and that
|
||||
matches no files, but there are some jpegs in subdirectories. git-ls-files
|
||||
re-expands the wildcard and finds those.
|
||||
|
||||
Seems that the best fix is to make Git.LsFiles paper over this git
|
||||
misfeature, by always escaping wildcards in paths passed
|
||||
to git-ls-files. AFAIK, no callers of Git.LsFiles expect to provide it
|
||||
wildcards, because I was completely surprised when I learned they were
|
||||
expanded.. --[[Joey]]

I've fixed this; now you'll see:

<pre>

git annex add *.jpg

git-annex: *.jpg not found
