Are you saying what it currently does is treating the on-filesystem filename foo*bar as a wildcard pattern? But what should an on-filesystem filename "match"? Whatever, I think the most basic requirement mtree should fulfil is that if I generate a spec from a path and then compare the spec to the path (without changing anything on-disc, of course), the comparison should succeed no matter which octets the on-disc filenames contain or what the phase of the moon is.
