paths are relative to the current directory or toplevel. The
pathspec syntax is as follows:
* any path matches itself
* the pathspec up to the last slash represents a
directory prefix. The scope of that pathspec is
limited to that subtree.
* the rest of the pathspec is a pattern for the remainder
of the pathname. Paths relative to the directory
prefix will be matched against that pattern using fnmatch(3);
in particular, '*' and '?' _can_ match directory separators.
