-X is to remove ignored files _only_ (DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag). And
"foo" is not ignored according to .gitignore, so it cuts short there
and never gets to "foo/a". -x works. May be intentional, may be not
(we hit a corner case). I don't know. Commit message b991625 might
help:
dir.c: Omit non-excluded directories with dir->show_ignored
This makes "git-ls-files --others --directory --ignored" behave
as documented and consequently also fixes "git-clean -d -X".
Previously, git-clean would remove non-excluded directories
even when using the -X option.
