I believe regression has been introduced by r36903. Here is the following directory / file structure: $ find . . ./foo ./foo/.bar ./foo/.bar/baz.txt ./foo/bar And here is the behavior of ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24 revision 39474) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2]: $ ruby -e "puts Dir.glob('**/*')" foo foo/bar -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
