bug#58134: grep for windows Include GLOB pattern with double star doesn't seem to work |

Hello,
I was using grep for Windows version 3.5.
I was trying to pattern match files.
At first, I thought I could put a regex as the file pattern in the command, but
that didn't seem to work.
Then I looked at the --include option.
I tried
grep -l --include="**/*.xml" foo .
grep -l --include="**\*.xml" foo .
grep -l --include="**\\*.xml" foo .
Adding the recursive -r didn't help either.
However, this worked:
grep -rl --include="*.xml" foo .
Is the double star supported on Windows? What is the proper way to do it?
All the best,
Alex
