IMHO no.  Because then Windows people will expect "hg clone ~/foo" or
"hg pull ~/foo" to do something meaningful.  And I don't think we
should do that.  Let Unix shells do what they do, i.e. expand wildcard
patterns before exec()'ing the child.  Windows users who want Unix
behaviour can, ummm, I dunno... use cygwin?  ;-)
