[Bug 66405] IndexIgnore should not describe its argument as a shell-style wildcard expression

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66405

--- Comment #1 from [email protected] ---
Also, it could be documented that the filename pattern semantics make it
impossible to ignore hidden filenames without also ignoring '..' (Parent
Directory). At best you can ignore hidden filenames three characters or longer
using the filename pattern

    .??*

To get the desired effect in a shell, you would ignore:

    .[!.]*

and

    ..?*

But as discussed in the original bug report there is no support for bracket
expressions.
