Requires escaped double-quotes for cross-platform globstars **/*

See original GitHub issue

One thing i noticed in the documentation is that your examples show single-quoted strings in order to allow for cross-platform compatibility. I have tried this and it does not work properly in Windows. However using ESCAPED DOUBLE-QUOTES works great!

So instead of…

copyfiles -f './foo/*_/_.txt' out

try…

copyfiles -f \"./foo/*_/_.txt\" out

Can you please update the documentation to show this?

Thanks!

Jeremy Moritz
