Nathan's Bug Report on Realization Globs

[Jonathan Clark]

I've now ported a second workflow to ducttape—an amazing improvement!

However, I think I found a bug due to a decimal-valued parameter/branch point:

$ ducttape sst-lp.tape invalidate threshold WhichNu.0.1
ducttape 0.2.1

It would be nice to be able to invalidate all realizations of a given
task in one go. I can't tell if this is supported due to the above.

Yep, that's a bug. Either: 1) You shouldn't have been able to declare
a branch containing a period or 2) the realization glob parser is
broken. I'll check and get back to you.

However, it *is* possible to do many realizations or even tasks in one
go: These are in fact globs -- just make sure to single quote any glob
characters. Example: ducttape workflow.tape invalidate
'my_fine_task_*' '*'

You can use both ? and * as in standard globs. For now, you could even
replace "." with "?" and probably achieve the same result even with
this bug in play.

Have an issue ticket: https://github.com/jhclark/ducttape/issues/135.
This will be fixed next time I push.
