Is type (2) exactly fnmatch?

It calls fnmatch(3) but without FNM_PATHNAME nor FNM_PERIOD, which makes
me sometimes wonder if it was a historical mistake and go to "git log" to
check, but it is more-or-less deliberate choice, as illustrated by the
'arch/i386/*.[ch]' example in 5be4efb ([PATCH] Make "git-ls-files" work in
subdirectories, 2005-08-21).
