Re: path = not supporting *

Trying that, and you are right. But literally it doesn't make any 
difference adding

 path = subtree

OR

path = subtree/*

does it?
First one leads to

A              B                  
new dir  ---->            subtree  [f] 

while the second one iterates over

A              B                  
new dir  ---->            subtree/subdir_CC  [f] f
new dir  ---->            subtree/subdir_CD  [f] f

Or does it make a difference when going down that tree? I tried and it does 
not make a difference. Both would also walk down to deeper subdirs.
So the implementation of having globs patterns like subtree/* does not have 
any benefit.
