When specifying both revisions and pathnames, we allow
"<rev> -- <pathspec>" to be spelled without the "--" as long
as it is not ambiguous. The original logic was something
like:
1. Resolve each item with get_sha1(). If successful,
we know it can be a <rev>. Verify that it _isn't_ a
filename, using verify_non_filename(), and complain of
ambiguity otherwise.
2. If get_sha1() didn't succeed, make sure that it _is_
a file, using verify_filename(). If not, complain
that it is neither a <rev> nor a <pathspec>.
Both verify_filename() and verify_non_filename() rely on
check_filename(), which definitely said "yes, this is a
file" or "no, it is not" using lstat().
Commit 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when
wildcard is used, 2015-05-02) introduced a convenience
feature: check_filename() will consider anything with
wildcard meta-characters as a possible filename, without
even checking the filesystem.
This works well for case 2. For such a wildcard, we would
previously have died and said "it is neither". Post-28fcc0b,
we assume it's a pathspec and proceed.
But it makes some instances of case 1 worse. We may have an
extended sha1 expression that contains meta-characters
(e.g., "HEAD^{/foo.*bar}"), and we now complain that it's
also a filename, due to the wildcard characters (even though
that wildcard would not match anything in the filesystem).
One solution would be to actually expand the pathname and
see if it matches anything on the filesystem. But that's
potentially expensive, and we do not have to be so rigorous
for this DWIM magic (if you want rigor, use "--").
Instead, we can just use different rules for cases 1 and 2.
When we know something is a rev, we will complain only if it
meets a much higher standard for "this is also a file";
namely that it actually exists in the filesystem. Case 2
remains the same: we use the looser "it could be a filename"
standard introduced by 28fcc0b.
We can accomplish this by pulling the wildcard logic out of
check_filename() and putting it into verify_filename(). Its
partner verify_non_filename() does not need a change, since
check_filename() goes back to implementing the "higher
standard".
Besides these two callers of check_filename(), there is one
other: git-checkout does a similar DWIM itself. It hits this
code path only after get_sha1() has returned failure, making
it case 2, which gets the special wildcard treatment.
Note that we drop the tests in t2019 in favor of a more
complete set in t6133. t2019 was not the right place for
them (it's about refname ambiguity, not dwim parsing
ambiguity), and the second test explicitly checked for the
opposite result of the case we are fixing here (which didn't
really make any sense; as shown by the test_must_fail in the
test, it would only serve to annoy people).

Commit 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used -
2015-05-02) changes how the disambiguation rules work. This patch adds
some tests to demonstrate, basically, if wildcard characters are in an
argument:
- if the argument is valid extended sha-1 syntax, "--" must be used
- otherwise the argument is considered a path, even without "--"
And wildcard can appear in extended sha-1 syntax, either as part of
regex in ":/<regex>" or as the literal path in ":<path>". The latter
case is less likely to happen in real world. But if you do ":/" a lot,
you may need to type "--" more.
