** does not include files in the current directory

It would be great if its behavior matched that of Bazel build files, or if not, it was prominently documented as such.

Hi,

do you have a minimal example where a glob does not match a file you would have expected it to match?

Cheers,

Yes. Copybara Globs are the standard unix/java globs. We document it here:

Coming from Bazel, ** matches in the current directory, e.g.:

cc_library(
        name = "Yo",
        srcs = glob(["**/*.c"]), # Matches a.c, source/a.c, etc.
)

But, it sounds like there are multiple common ways of doing globs
