Hi,

They don't have the same precedence: ^ has high precedence while ~ has
low precedence.

foo/^bar/* and foo/*/*~foo/bar/* mean pretty much the same, except
that the first one is much less verbose.

**/*~*oo/ba* means any path without “oo/ba” in it (including foo/bar),
I'm not sure you can easily do the same thing with ^ (as / has lower
precedence than ^).

Best regards,
