> It’s strange that glob_to_re needs fixing too; at this point I’m not sure if we’re still fixing my commit or if the original code never worked properly on Windows.  Could you run the same tests with a Python < 2.7?

The original code never worked properly on Windows - that's what the XXX
comment in glob_to_re() is about. I've been able to reproduce the problem
(erroneously including ".hg\last-message.txt") on v2.7.2 (8527427914a2).

> BTW I wonder if #9691 is yet another manifestation of this bug.

It looks like it.
