The only thing I have found that hides my builds/ folder from the project
is to specify

*/builds/

Removing any character (leading star or trailing slash) makes the filter
not work anymore. This is a bit too hidden IMO. It also suggests that the
project-specific filtering is not done based on the project folder as '/'
but rather taking the invisible tree-root as '/'.

Using a trailing slash as a difference to say I want only folders matching
the pattern to be filtered is fine, but it should be noted in the UI (at
least in a tooltip). And the necessity to add a leading */ is certainly
unexpected for me.
