However, since about 1.4.4.1 or so, it now does the same filename
expansion as "git add" etc does, which means that you can give it a
directory name and it will check out everything under that directory, or
you can give it a pattern, and it should glob it. But it sounds like you
may have a slightly older version of git (the pathname matching really is
fairly recent).
Seems like this was post-1.4.4.1. Just updated to 1.4.4.2 and this works for me now,
thanks.
