You're right, there is a discrepancy in the behavior. directoryG/*
should match everything beneath directoryG
which should include the files under directoryH
.
from python-pathspec.
UPDATE: My evaluation in this comment was completely wrong and confused the issue.
I suspect the discrepancy is that a .gitignore does additional filtering beyond that of Git's wildmatch algorithm. If I fixed this in my implementation of wildmatch, it could unexpectedly change the results of anyone already using this for a purpose other than emulating .gitingore.
The core issue is that blacklisting files from an excluded directory is not currently implemented:
An optional prefix "!" which negates the pattern; any matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become included again. It is not possible to re-include a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded.
See: PATTERN FORMAT bullet 4.

Hey is there any workaround?
from python-pathspec.
While I understand the dilemma above with breaking existing projects, as time goes on more projects are probably using this and probably a good number expect this to match the behavior Git has when trying to exactly match something as a .gitignore file. I've spent a few days on and off scratching my head trying to work out why files weren't being excluded properly (using Git itself as an interactive test to see what matching worked), only to find this open issue.

This is now fixed and will be available in v0.10.0 when it is released.
