From: Alistair Buxton Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2017 18:45:36 GMT Subject: Re: [BUG] ls-files '**' globstar matches one or more directories instead of zero or more directories Message-ID: In-Reply-To: On IRC someone pointed me to the glossary section for pathspec, and I find that even more confusing. In the section about ":(glob)" it says: > For example, "**/foo" matches file or directory "foo" anywhere, the same as pattern "foo". This is not true for ls-files: ":(glob)**/.gitignore" is completely different to ":(glob).gitignore". The only place where it is true is inside .gitignore files, and there the ":(glob)" syntax does not work. -- Alistair Buxton a.j.buxton@gmail.com
