Not just a glossary entry. This sounds like a good #leftoverbits topic for new-ish people to work on, with help from old timers? I do agree that the entry in the glossary has grown to be way too big. The pathspec magic itself should be mentioned there in the glossary, but the details of it feels a bit too much and the topic probably deserves its own manual page, just like gitrevisions(7) has one. Thanks.
