Hi,

I just ran into problems with a gemspec that is very similar to what can be found here:
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20#files

spec.files = Dir['lib/**/*.rb'] + Dir['bin/*']
spec.files << Dir['[A-Z]*'] + Dir['test/**/*']

The code I was working with was:

s.files = %w[LICENSE README.textile Rakefile SYNTAX_REFERENCE greencloth.gemspec]`
s.files << Dir['lib/*.rb'] + Dir['test/*.rb']`

The last line would add an array as the last item of the array which would then be removed. I was able to work around this by using
+= instead of <<. I am not sure this is an issue just for me but it feels like the documentation is suggesting sth. that does not work here.

I am using rubygems 1.3.6

   Yeah, that's a pretty crappy example...a lot of the RG docs need to be revisited. Thanks for pointing this out.

   Azul, I've updated the example to use += instead of <<. Thanks!
