fix check for ignoring of negate rules gitignore rule like "*.pdf" should be negated by "!dir/test.pdf" even though one is inside a directory since *.pdf isn't restricted to any directory this is fixed by making wildcard match treat * like ** by excluding WM_PATHNAME flag when the rule isn't for a full path
