I think I sometimes had a clear notion of which was more appropriate, but right
now I've no idea. Anyone?

OK, I'll mark this message for attention and consider doing so.

That puzzled me when I reviewed the patch, but I investigated and found that
ignores are only applied to items found by recursion, not to explicitly given
targets. A directory made by "mkdir" is always an explicit target, so ignores
don't apply.

I mentioned that that behaviour (only applicable in recursion) is not
documented, and I'm not sure it's what I really want (but it's a hard call),
but I don't suppose that comment is enough to make anyone document it ... :-)
Any volunteers?
