Globs beginning with ./ doesn't capture file events

[dashed]

Following from this issue: floatdrop/gulp-watch#1

The following doesn't capture file events:

var Gaze = require('gaze').Gaze;
var gaze = new Gaze('./src/**/*.md');
// Files have all started watching
gaze.on('ready', function(watcher) {
    console.log('ready')
});
// A file has been added/changed/deleted has occurred
gaze.on('all', function(event, filepath) {
    console.log(event, filepath);
});

Removing ./ seems to work as normal.

I workaround it by filtering the glob target via path.join.

Is prepending ./ necessary? The current working directory is always assumed with glob patterns.

Not really necessary, but I do it out of habit.

It seems to be unexpected behaviour.

I guess we could strip ./ off patterns but I'm curious to know the root cause of the issue.

FWIW, this appears to not be an issue with the next version of gaze, v0.5. Using a slightly modified version of your example locally here:

var fs = require('fs')
var Gaze = require('./').Gaze;
var gaze = new Gaze('./tmp/*.js');
// Files have all started watching
gaze.on('ready', function(watcher) {
    console.log('ready')
    fs.writeFileSync('./tmp/1.js', 'testing')
});
// A file has been added/changed/deleted has occurred
gaze.on('all', function(event, filepath) {
    console.log(event, filepath);
});

It's not really a big deal. Though, I'll be looking forward to v0.5 since it seems to fix an issue or two with gulp-watch.

Yay. :D
