ls-tree: further tweaks of the rewrite
It modifies the selection a bit, so that a pathspec that is a superset of
a particular tree path will always cause it to recurse into that tree.
As an example, let's say that we do
git-ls-tree HEAD drivers/char
_without_ the "-r". What will happen is that it will start out doing all
the base tree, and for "drivers" it will notice that it's a proper subset
of "drivers/char", so it will always recurse into _that_ tree (but not
into other trees).
Then, it will not match anything else than "char" in that subdirectory,
and because that's not a proper superset (it's an exact match), it will
_not_ recurse into it, so you get:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ ~/git/git-ls-tree HEAD drivers/char
040000 tree
9568cda453aae205bb58983747fa73b9696d9d51 drivers/char
which is what you got with the old git-ls-tree too.
But interestingly, if you add the slash, it will become a proper superset
and it will recurse into _that_ subdirectory (but no deeper: so if you
want all subdirectories _below_ drivers/char/, you still need to give
"-r"):
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ ~/git/git-ls-tree HEAD drivers/char/

See? This is on top of the previous two diffs, holler if you want a whole
new "everything combined" version..
It hasn't gotten lots of testing, but it should work.
