In all Emacs releases prior to Emacs 26, if you use command `dired' with
an input directory name that has wildcards and ends with a slash,
e.g. c:/foo/bar/*b*/, the command simply ignores the trailing slash and
correctly gives you a listing of all files and dirs in c:/foo/bar/ whose
names contain a b character.
Starting with Emacs 26, such input raises an error. IMO it should not.
Other than that, the error message is anyway inappropriate: "No files
matching regexp". There's absolutely no regep involved. *b* is a glob
pattern, not a regexp - and so is *b*/, for that matter.
In general, the character / in a glob pattern cannot be matched by a
wildcard. E.g., Wikipedia says "Normally, the path separator character
(/ on Linux/Unix, MacOS, etc. or \ on Windows) will never be matched."
and Linux man page glob(7) says "A '/' in a pathname cannot be matched
by a '?' or '*' wildcard, or by a range like "[.-0]"."
I think the change in behavior (raising an error) is wrong. Emacs prior
to Emacs 26 was correct in ignoring a trailing slash in this context.
Please revert the code that introduced this regression.
