    Prior to v1.8.1.1, with:
    
      git init
      echo content >foo &&
      mkdir subdir &&
      echo content >subdir/bar &&
      echo "subdir export-ignore" >.gitattributes
      git add . &&
      git commit -m one &&
      git archive HEAD | tar tf -
    
    the resulting archive would contain only "foo" and ".gitattributes",
    not subdir.  This was broken with a recent change that intended to
    allow "subdir/ export-ignore" to also exclude the directory, but
    instead ended up _requiring_ the trailing slash by mistake.
    
    A pattern "subdir" should match any path "subdir", whether it is a
    directory or a non-directory.  A pattern "subdir/" insists that a
    path "subdir" must be a directory for it to match.
    
    This patch adds test not just for this simple case, but also for
    deeper cross-directory cases, as well as cases with wildcards.
