.forceignore **.md bug

See original GitHub issue

Summary

Following this guide on excluding files when syncing or pushing to a scratch org I implemented **.md in my .forceignore. Vivek also includes this notation in his template repo’s forceignore.

There is an issue with the way sfdx is handling **.md in the forceignore and custom metadata when pushing to the org. If you have a customMetadata file named MyCustomMetadata.md-meta.xml, this will be ignored.

Steps To Reproduce:

Step 1. Have a custom metadata file in your source directory named something like MyCustomMetadata.md-meta.xml
Step 2. Have **.md in the forceignore file
Step 3. Deploy to your scratch org, noting that your custom metadata isn’t deployed.
Step 4. Remove **.md in the forceignore file and redeploy to your scratch org. Take note that it deploys the custom metadata.

Expected result

Only .md extensions should be ignored, not .md-meta.xml, when adding **.md to the .forceignore file.

I could understand this behavior if I had added **.md* to the .forceignore file.

Actual result

.md-meta.xml files are not deployed with **.md in the .forceignore file.

@Kevmo92 , @cnaccio , this looks like a generic issue and not just related to metadata files. I am working on it and will update as soon as I am able to fix it. Thanks!
