when porting parts of pytest to pathlib we noted that path.match does not quite match normal fnmatch for usages of **

i believe this is related to always splitting the patter completely and not handling ** in that case

Bruno wrote https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/pull/3980/files#diff-63fc5ed688925b327a5af20405bf4b09R19 as a workaround

Thanks for the report. This looks like a duplicate of bpo-29249.

indeed it is, thanks for the reference i searched only for match and missed the glob
