Globbing doesn't do recursion

See original GitHub issue

To get recursion, I have to add an additional /** per directory level. So for a directory nested four levels in, I have to target **/**/**/**. Is this expected behavior? I’m on Windows, but I do everything in the bash - globbing always works as expected.

ok, so basic recursion is working… using this one/two/three folder structure can you send me a command which demonstrates it failing? Cheers!
