So given
/home/a
/home/a/k.py
/home/a/c/j.py
/home/b/z.py
/home/b/c/f.py
and a current directory of /home/a, we'd have:
pattern matches
------- -------
*.py k.py, c/j.py
c/*.py c/j.py
c* c [?]
../*.py ?
../c/*.py ?
Thinking about those .. cases makes my brain hurt :) What does it mean to match '../*.py' when I'm recursing into the c subdirectory? What does it mean in the current directory, for that matter?
As you can see, your short explanation has left me with one case where I have a question, and one set of cases where my intuition completely fails.
