But '*/' should match exactly one subdirectory deep. Instead it
matches one more more subdirectories.
Meaning it behaves the way '**/*/' should.
Try the following in the git source repo:
shopt -s globstar
diff <(ls -1 */.gitignore | sort) <(git ls-files '*/.gitignore' | sort)
diff <(ls -1 */**/.gitignore | sort) <(git ls-files '*/.gitignore' | sort)
of course it works as expected if you say the magic word:
diff <(ls -1 */.gitignore | sort) <(git ls-files
':(glob)*/.gitignore' | sort)
