The current wildmatch() call for includeIf's gitdir pattern does not pass the WM_PATHNAME flag. Without this flag, '*' is treated _almost_ the same as '**' (because '*' also matches slashes) with one exception: '/**/' can match a single slash. The pattern 'foo/**/bar' matches 'foo/bar'. But '/*/', which is essentially what wildmatch engine sees without WM_PATHNAME, has to match two slashes (and '*' matches nothing). Which means 'foo/*/bar' cannot match 'foo/bar'. It can only match 'foo//bar'. The result of this is the current wildmatch() call works most of the time until the user depends on '/**/' matching no path component. And also '*' matches slashes while it should not, but people probably haven't noticed this yet. The fix is straightforward.
