#29510

test is in the folder .../xterm.js/src/build/. I really think there's value to sticking with the ./ syntax to make the search relative to all roots.

[roblourens]

I actually don't quite understand the scenario, is xterm.js/src a root?

[Tyriar]

@roblourens i have xterm.js and node-pty root folders. We've talked about this before, whether including a folder should include just the folder relative to the root or all folders of that name. I propose:

• build should find the item in xterm.js/src/build/test
• ./build should not find the item in xterm.js/src/build/test

[roblourens]

We talked about it in the context of using it to bypass excludes, which I think was confusing and never worked as well as I wanted it to. I don't think I can make it work the same way with the way I do search across multiple folders now. But this case should still be doable, build will not find src/build/test, and **/build/** as a glob will find it.

[roblourens]

I should at the very least change this back to just strip ./.

[roblourens]

That ^ was already done

I think my changes match your suggestions, let me know if not.
