[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Clarify alpm-hooks(5)

[Přemysl Janouch]

While studying gtk-update-icon-cache.hook, which had the following contents:

  Target = usr/share/icons/*/
  Target = !usr/share/icons/*/?*

it was not obvious from the documentation what and how this matches,
which I'm trying to rectify here, after some consultation with Andrew.
