Description of the problem / feature request:

https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/functions.html#glob says:

If a rule and a source file with the same name both exist in the package, the glob will return the outputs of the rule instead of the source file.

This isn't correct in the current version of Bazel (nor any I can remember using). Given the following workspace:

$ touch WORKSPACE
$ touch hello.c
$ cat >BUILD <<'EOF'
genrule(
    name = "hello.c",
    outs = ["hello-gen.c"],
    cmd = "touch $@",
)

print("glob: ", glob(["*"]))
EOF

Running bazel build will print out hello.c, not hello-gen.c.

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

macOS

What's the output of bazel info release?

release 1.2.1
