Negated excludes with a pattern does not seem to work with sub directories, e.g. the following test fails for me.

The file /one/two/a.1 exists, and is initially excluded by *, but not re-included by "!*.1" (where as /a.1 is re-included).

diff --git i/t/t3001-ls-files-others-exclude.sh
w/t/t3001-ls-files-others-exclude.sh
index c8fe978..e6c86ff 100755
