Yes, there are things other than "git add" that take pathspec (even
"git ls-files" does so), and demonstrating the blast radious of the
existing "bug" you fixed, with how they behave differently and
better with your fix, would be a good thing to do.
But make sure you follow "dashed options first, then other args"
convention. I do not offhand know (and *MORE* *IMPORTANTLY*, I do
not want anybody to depend on) what the current command line parser
happens to do to
git commit "*" -m "Test"
If you meant to say that a pathspec with glob, always write it the
right way:
git commit -m "Test" -- "*"

The FUNNYNAMES prereq was invented to mark tests that rely on
filesystem being able to handle certain letters, so that may be a
good thing to use.
