```
This adds a trailing slash to directory names in the output
when "--others --directory" option shows only untracked
directories and not their contents, to make them stand out.

Likes.

However, I'd re-write it as just

	memcpy(fullname + baselen + len, "/", 2);
	len++;
	if (show_other_directories &&
	    !dir_exists(fullname, baselen + len))
		break;
	read_directory(fullname, fullname, baselen + len);

because let's face it, every user wants the "+1", so just do it once 
up-front instead of adding one in three different places.
