Hmm, I am not sure what you mean by this. If the pathspec says a/b*/c,
you are in "a" and are deciding if you should descend to its subdirectory,
then you would surely want to be able to say:
(1) Ah, the subdirectory I am looking at is "bar" and it does match "b*".
It might contain "c"; I should descend into it.
(2) Nope, the subdirectory I am looking at is "frotz" and it can never
match "b*", so there is no point recursing into it.
