The code has been cleaned up quite a bit from that original version, and it was pretty easy to see the discrepancy between the two code paths. However, if the code were structured like the cleanup patch below, I think it would have been even easier. This comes on top of my other patch. So the bug is already fixed, but I think the end result is more readable. -- >8 -- When we get a list of paths from read_directory, we further prune it to create the final list of items to remove. The code paths for directories and non-directories repeat the same "add to list" code. This patch restructures the code so that we don't repeat ourselves. Also, by following a "if (condition) continue" pattern like the pathspec check above, it makes it more obvious that the conditional is about excluding directories under certain circumstances.
