Hi!

Ok, I splittet the patch previously called dir_ignore into two tiny chunks 
which represent the two different concepts merged within the old patch.

The first one fixes a plain misbehaviour of the globbing pattern and makes 
the implementation's behaviour match its documentation. Without this 
patch, the example pattern "./sys" from the docs would also match files 
and directories called "./system", "./sysiphus", and so on.

The second chunk extends the directory matching behaviour such 
that "./abc/**" is equivalent to "./abc/", ie it ignores the directories' 
contents but not the directory itself. I'm not sure if this behaviour is 
desirable, but I consider it to be convenient... ;)

Greetings,

  Gunter
