--- Patterns are normally applied to the file's or directory's name, without
--- its path. See below about how to apply filters on a path.
---
--- Here some examples:
---
--- "^%." matches any file of directory whose basename begins with a dot.
---
--- When there is an '/' or a '/$' at the end, the pattern will only match
--- directories. When using such a pattern a final '/' will be added to the name
--- of any directory entry before checking if it matches.
---
--- "^%.git/" matches any directory named ".git" anywhere in the project.
---
--- If a "/" appears anywhere in the pattern (except when it appears at the end or
--- is immediately followed by a '$'), then the pattern will be applied to the full
--- path of the file or directory. An initial "/" will be prepended to the file's
--- or directory's path to indicate the project's root.
---
--- "^/node_modules/" will match a directory named "node_modules" at the project's root.
--- "^/build.*/" will match any top level directory whose name begins with "build".
--- "^/subprojects/.+/" will match any directory inside a top-level folder named "subprojects".
