Description

With SLING-5909 a new behaviour has been introduced to Path.matches() which supports matches a Path against a glob pattern.
The attached test only convers a Path object with "/", but it is unclear what the intend of this change actually is - and what the semantics is.
The javadoc of matches() right now clearly states that the argument should be a path, therefore glob pattern is not supported in that method.
radu.cotescu Could you please comment on the intended behaviour?
