[Kde-scm-interest] Source of "pattern must end in /" rule?

[Dave Abrahams]

Boost's SVN repository contains a bunch of files in the same directory
that need to be sorted into separate repositories.  As a result, we need
svn2git to be able to match names that don't end in a forward slash.
I've been looking through the svn2git code for code that malfunctions
when that rule is violated, not finding anything obvious.  Could someone
explain where that rule comes from?

That information would be a big help in closing
https://github.com/ryppl/boost-svn2git/issues/6

Thanks,
