Hi Garry,
That's because the shell is pre-expanding about/* into a list of files.
./go about/one about/two about/three ...etc..
If you specify a list of files on the ttree command line like that then
it assumes you know what you're doing and really want them processed
regardless of any accept/ignore rules.
Unfortunately those factors conspires to make it Do The Wrong Thing :-(
What would be nice for ttree is for it to recognise wildcard patterns
and Do The Right Thing, effectively adding an extra accept="about/*"
rule to the existing accept/ignore rules. You would have to quote the
wildcard to stop the shell from expanding it, but that wouldn't be too
bad.
./go 'about/*'
Thinking about it, you *should* already be able to do this:
./go --accept='about/'
to get the desired effect.
However, that doesn't seem to work. Looking at the code for ttree,
the --ignore option matches against directory paths whereas the
--accept option matches against file names. That seems broken to
me.

Yes, it appears to be a bug in ttree. A four letter bug, to be precise.

With this fix, you can use the --accept option to do what you want,
as shown in the example above.
I've committed the fix to SVN. There'll be a new release just as soon
as I finish the documentation updates I'm working on.
Cheers
