 A pathspec that begins with a colon `:` has special meaning.  In the
 short form, the leading colon `:` is followed by zero or more "magic
 signature" letters (which optionally is terminated by another colon `:`),

-colon that terminates the "magic signature" can be omitted if the pattern

 In the long form, the leading colon `:` is followed by a open
 parenthesis `(`, a comma-separated list of zero or more "magic words",
