title: Does git support wildcards in paths?
body: <p>I have looked, searched, and read documentation and can't really find anything about this.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I want to be able to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset -- *.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset -- */some_executable.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset -- some/very/long/path/some_executable.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also it'd be nice to be able to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset -- topleveldirectory/another/subdirectory/*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset -- topleveldirectory/another/subdirectory/SomeFile.cpp
  git reset -- topleveldirectory/another/subdirectory/SomFile.h
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I <em>think</em> I can use the wildcard <code>*</code> in git-add to add files, but haven't found anything that works in the case above.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions or pointers to where I can look for more info?</p>
