"File -r common" matches "common/*.*" and "*/common/*.*"

File -r common/*.* "matches" only "common/*.*"

Because we use common/*.* as a pattern you have to set the directory first
to make sure stuff gets expanded to the right place.

The problem with the current pattern is we include stuff we shouldn't form
other random directories that happen to include the root directory name in
their path.
