glob ignores names which starts with dot if pattern is not starts with dot. But this is wrong for bytes pattern in Python 3.

>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob('*hg')
[]
>>> glob.glob(b'*hg')
[b'.hg']

The proposed patch fixes this inconsistency. Also it contains new tests for this and some other possible cases.

Python 2.7 is not needed the fix, however additional tests can be useful. Here is a patch.

The patch doesn't apply cleanly.

Serhiy, are you going to update your patches? I can implement the feedback of our Q4 Community Service Award awardee too in case you’re busy.

Aha! It's OS/2 where glob('*/') returns result without trailing slash. Here also glob() can return str (on 2.7) result for unicode pattern.

Here is an updated patches. I hope it satisfies Antoine's comments.
