Hi all, When I use a `**/` glob pattern with `git diff`, it doesn't seem to match in the root directory. The documentation for gitgnore says that a leading `**/` should match in all directories, and I would expect it to behave the same way for `git diff`. For example: $ git --version git version 2.31.1.527.g47e6f16901 # built from the `next` branch $ mkdir /tmp/globtest && cd /tmp/globtest $ git init $ echo foo > foo $ mkdir sub $ echo subfoo > sub/foo $ git add . $ git commit -m 'Initial commit' $ echo bar > foo $ echo subbar > sub/foo $ git --no-pager diff '**/foo' diff --git a/sub/foo b/sub/foo index ef7889f..2b2ab6c 100644 --- a/sub/foo +++ b/sub/foo @@ -1 +1 @@ -subfoo +subbar Only the diff to `sub/foo` is printed, whereas I'd expect the change to the top-level `foo` to be printed as well. `git diff '**foo'` does behave as I would expect. This also happens with a `**` in the middle of a pattern; e.g., `sub/**/bar` will match `sub/dir/bar` but not `sub/bar`. Am I misunderstanding how `**` should work, or is this a bug? Thanks, Shoaib
