Update manual: --exclude glob on summary line
Checks
- [x] I have read the troubleshooting section and still think this is a bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:
The intro to the manual says: (emphasis mine)
By default fd uses regular expressions for the pattern. However, this can be changed to use simple glob patterns with the '--glob' option.
OK, so pattern is a regex.
And then, regarding --exclude
-E, --exclude pattern
But no. It's actually a glob. This really tricked me until I read the full description slowly, and word for word. I missed it on the first reading.
Can we please change this to:
-E, --exclude glob
Describe what you expected to happen:
Manual says:
-E, --exclude glob

Well, it isn't exactly a glob either. It's a gitignore pattern.
