dotnet pack: glob with forward slashes doesn't work on windows in nuspec file #49950
Description
Describe the bug
I use a windows PC for development, but I test all CI commands on WSL too.
A glob expression in a nuspec file like
<file src="/api/flow.js?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fdotnet%2Fsdk%2Fissues%2Fbin%2FRelease%2F**%2F*" ...
works fine on linux and windows both, but if I use forward slashes
<file src="/api/flow.js?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fdotnet%2Fsdk%2Fissues%2Fbin%2FRelease%2F**%2F*" ...
It works on linux only.
To Reproduce
nuspec file with forward slashes: https://github.com/Yury-Fridlyand/valkey-glide/blob/037bb2fabfbb75045a4b22048707333661a1145c/csharp/sources/Valkey.Glide/Valkey.Glide.nuspec#L27-L31
Same with back slashes: https://github.com/Yury-Fridlyand/valkey-glide/blob/fa30122df1f7012c9211521a410ed60eccb6af69/csharp/sources/Valkey.Glide/Valkey.Glide.nuspec#L27-L31
To try the build, comment out lines 45-50, set env var SkipCargo=true and run
dotnet build Valkey.Glide.csproj --configuration Release
dotnet pack Valkey.Glide.csproj --configuration Release
(the full CD pipeline is here if you need it)
So on linux everything works fine, regardless of the path separator:
dotnet build Valkey.Glide.csproj --configuration Release
Restore complete (1.6s)
Valkey.Glide net6.0 succeeded (5.1s) → bin/Release/net6.0/Valkey.Glide.dll
Valkey.Glide net8.0 succeeded (5.8s) → bin/Release/net8.0/Valkey.Glide.dll
Build succeeded in 8.1s
$ dotnet pack Valkey.Glide.csproj --configuration Release
Restore complete (1.3s)
Valkey.Glide net6.0 succeeded (4.0s) → bin/Release/net6.0/Valkey.Glide.dll
Valkey.Glide net8.0 succeeded (4.1s) → bin/Release/net8.0/Valkey.Glide.dll
Build succeeded in 14.6s

Dotnet on windows with backslashes works fine too, but with forward slashes:

Valkey.Glide net6.0 succeeded (17,4s) → bin\Release\net6.0\Valkey.Glide.dll

Valkey.Glide net8.0 succeeded (1,4s) → bin\Release\net8.0\Valkey.Glide.dll
Valkey.Glide succeeded with 12 warning(s) (0,5s)

Workaround and thoughts
Use backslashes in glob and wildcard expressions. But it is unclear how symbol escaping rules work.
I'd like to have dotnet fully agnostic to path separator on any platform.
If it is impossible to fix (no way), please update the docs.
