Bug in git clean

Hi.

Passing to git clean wrong (non-existent) paths together with valid ones, causes it to delete stuff that it shouldn't. Am I right? Script to reproduce:

mkdir test cd test git init . mkdir ba mkdir ba/ca

# So far so good. # Should clean directory "ba/ca" git clean -dn -- ba/ca

# Should clean "ba/ca" and ignore non-existent "j" # Instead, it wants to delete "ba" totally. git clean -dn -- ba/ca j

git --version

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Output:

+ mkdir test
+ cd test
+ git init .
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/notroot/test/.git/
+ mkdir ba
+ mkdir ba/ca
+ git clean -dn -- ba/ca
Would remove ba/ca/
+ git clean -dn -- ba/ca j
Would remove ba/
+ git --version
git version 1.7.9.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Tested on linux (version 1.7.9.5) and cygwin (1.7.9)
