Thanks a lot for the reviews. Replying to both.

If I send a follow up, I'll fix the commit description and the help
string, remove the shorthand -M, write a more sensible test.

Thanks for the thoughtful analysis. My main motivation was (1), thus
filtering with a pathspec is much better than trying to work around
the issue. The issues raised in the review are significant enough that
committing this patch could cause significant issues; I don't know how
to resolve handling with -v and how to handle tabs.

OK.  Thanks for thinking it through.
