With the current "prefix" rule (and not allowing /ho to match
/home) that sounds possible and sensivle, but that is not nice
in the long run.  We may later want to say "/pub/git/**/*.git"
for example to mean "any subdirectory under /pub/git but the
base directory name must be something ending with '.git'".

Hmm...
