Description
Please change all your documentation to quote shell meta-characters
when used as arguments to task commands. For example in the FAQ you
say incorrectly:
$ task /[A-Z]../ list
If your ROOT file system happens to contain any of the directories
"`/A..`" through "`/Z..`" the shell will GLOB match that pattern and ruin
your task command line. Always quote shell meta-characters:
$ task '/[A-Z]../' list
Also, those of us who run our shells with "`failglob`" turned on will get an
immediate error when the shell tries to expand a GLOB pattern and fails.
Always quote shell meta-characters.
