Hi there, Not sure if this is the correct channel to submit a bug report for Windows Git Bash. Please let me know if I did anything wrong. Today I noticed that on Windows Git Bash, the asterisk (*) is incorrectly expanded even when it’s in a quote or following a backslash (\). I’m wondering if this is the correct behaviour (which seems like to me NOT). Step to reproduce (in Windows git bash): zhb@zhb-PC MINGW64 ~/Desktop $ bash --version GNU bash, version 4.4.19(2)-release (x86_64-pc-msys) Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
