[issue35201] Recursive '**' matches non-existent directories.

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

This is expected behavior, and it matches the behavior of Bash.

$ mkdir empty
$ shopt -s globstar failglob
$ echo empty/*
bash: no match: empty/*
$ echo empty/**
empty/

"**" matches zero or more path components. In this case case it matches zero.
