MSYS2 changed the behavior of MINGW executables' wildcard expansion. This has ramifications when spawning a `git.exe` whose argument contains asterisks or question marks. This does _not_ affect the way wildcards are expanded when calling `git` from Git Bash (or from a shell script) because that expansion is handled by Bash already.
