Subject: [PATCH] ls-files: fix overeager pathspec optimization

Given pathspecs that share a common prefix, ls-files optimized its call
into recursive directory reader by starting at the common prefix
directory.

If you have a directory "t" with an untracked file "t/junk" in it, but the
top-level .gitignore file told us to ignore "t/", this resulted in:

    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
    t/junk
    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/junk
    t/junk
    $ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
    junk

We could argue that you are overriding the ignore file by giving a
patchspec that matches or being in that directory, but it is somewhat
unexpected.  Worse yet, these behave differently:

    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/ .
    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
    t/junk

This patch changes the optimization so that it notices when the common
prefix directory that it starts reading from is an ignored one.
