Any thoughts on adding support for URL prefix matching?

Example syntax could be credential.https://example.com/org1/*.key
(explicit wildcard) or credential.https://example.com/org1/.key
(implicit wildcard)

I think I may have added support for this (using the urlmatch patterns)
but didn't document it[0].  I see some tests for it in t0300.  Have you
tried it?

Thanks Brian for your reply. You're right, it already works as desired:

     $ git -c credential.https://example.com/org.username=bingo config
get --url=https://example.com/org/repo.git credential.username
     bingo

It has to be a path prefix, not just a string prefix, which is nice:

     $ git -c credential.https://example.com/org.username=bingo config
get --url=https://example.com/organ/repo.git credential.username

Regardless, I believe it's a useful feature that we should have.

If, perchance, I did add it and it's still around, would you be willing
to write some documentation for it?

I shall send a patch with documentation and expanded tests.

[0] I believe Dscho graciously helped fix a few bugs in my changes,
which I appreciate.
