This is expected behavior of the Bash you are using. The commands that I
think would reflect your intentions would be:

    git init brackets
    cd brackets
    echo 'asd' > 'bra[ckets].txt'
    git add 'bra[ckets].txt'
    git commit -m initial
    git show 'HEAD:bra[ckets].txt’

Nope. This command sequence doesn’t work for me: the same error is returned:

    # git show 'HEAD:bra[ckets].txt'
    fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD:bra[ckets].txt': both revision and filename

Whoops. Sorry. I actually ran those commands now and it is true that it
still does not work, which is funny. Especially since

        git show 'HEAD:bra[ckets].txt' --

actually *does* work.

It's from 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is
