David gave some feedback to my old series to add globbing to new.ignore
[1]. One thing that annoyed me in that series was that we have to do the
ignore check in several places. I thought it would be nice to use the
filter parameter to scandir(3) but alas you can't pass a context
parameter there.

I ended up experimenting with that, and here's the result. Maybe this
makes it easier to read and understand the add_files() function, and
this centralizes the new.ignore handling, but is this really worth it?
I'm unsure.

Patch 1 is trivial and should be pushed no matter what.

BR,
Jani.
