Pathspec as in match_pathspec() in dir.c allows wildcards. Though it
seems only used with worktree or index-related operations. To me the
one with wildcard support is called pathspec. The one without is path
prefix. But it's probably just me.

There is also a GSoC suggestion about this [1] and I posted a related
patch a while back [2] but forgot it until now.
