I think the Vim implementation of '**' predates the bash implementation
(which appears to
be available only since bash 4).

But in any case, I am not going to discuss this further, I have
mentioned a workaround
(which uses an even simpler pattern) and apart from that have no further
opinion on that
(except that it seems logical to me, to have '/' mean that the pattern
must match
at a directory).

Best,
Christian
