[Buildbot-devel] FileUpload unknown file name

[Axel Hecht]

Ah, glob, http://docs.python.org/lib/module-glob.html. That's like the
one known way to call wildcards that I didn't look for in the modules
list and the index. I should've asked google instead.

Sounds like a simple RFE to add that on the slave impl, I'd say.
Though I wouldn't exactly know what to do with multiple or no matches,
it could just error.
