The function is given a string that ends with a slash to signal that the path is a directory to make sure that a pattern that ends with a slash (i.e. MUSTBEDIR) can tell directories and non-directories apart. However, the pattern itself (pat->pattern and pat->patternlen) that came from such a MUSTBEDIR pattern is represented as a string that ends with a slash, but patternlen does not count that trailing slash. A MUSTBEDIR pattern "element/" is represented as a counted string <"element/", 7> and this must match match pathname "element/". Because match_basename() wants to see pathname "element" to match against the pattern <"element/", 7>, reduce the length of the path to exclude the trailing slash when calling match_basename(). A similar adjustment for match_pathname() might be needed, but I didn't look into it.
