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

[Dave Abrahams]

Hi Ian,

Thanks for answering, but I'm afraid I don't understand how your
response addresses my question.  You're showing me a rule that doesn't
end in a slash, that supposedly worked.  Are you saying that the
ends-in-a-slash rule is obsolete?  Or are you saying something else?
