Glob passthrough breaks watch in subdirectories

[sschuldenzucker]

Describe the bug
I keep each page in its own directory (so post/my-post/my-post.md contains the content for /post/my-post/) and images in that same directory that are passthrough-copied. The purpose of this is to keep a post together with its assets.

However, this breaks watch: Changes to the *.md files do not trigger a rebuild.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a file post/A/A.md and the following config:

eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("post/**/*.png")

2. Also create a file post/B.md.

3. Run eleventy --serve.

The site is generated & served correctly. We could check this via a browser at localhost:8080/post/A.

4. Modify and save A.md.

Expected behavior
Eleventy automatically re-generates the site when A is saved.

Actual behavior
Nothing happens.

When we save B.md, the site regenerates (including the changes to A.md).

Environment:

• Windows 10
• Eleventy 0.11.1

Remarks

• It is not important whether post/A/ in our example actually contains any files that are matched by the glob.
• This only happens for files in subdirectories. I.e., the problem doesn't occur for B.md above.
• Removing the addPassthroughCopy(...) line eliminates the problem.

I just want to add, that I just stumbled upon the exact same issue.

My usecase is building components with different frontend frameworks and render the results for each component to an asset folder specific for that component imlementation.

I have these lines in my eleventy config:

eleventyConfig.addWatchTarget("src/**/assets/**");
eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("src/**/assets/**");

If I know (with a build script) change/replace the content of the assets folder, no new build is triggered by eleventy.

Cross linking #893 which may be relevant to you @Snapstromegon

I tested this on both 1.x and 2.x and both are operating as expected

I think this one may have been fixed along the way. Closing for now but please let me know if you see further issues!
