No problem, I figured it would show up here sooner or later...

I guess I needed to be more clear, too: I wasn't arguing that subversion
did (or even should) handle '[Mm]', only that documenting it as "shell
globbing" (or, actually, "a file pattern") doesn't eliminate '[Mm]'.

"Pattern" is such an overloaded term in Unix that being more specific in
the docs would probably reduce confusion.
