That's what I thought too, but I just tried adding "Fred" to my global
ignore list. If I add a folder with that name somewhere down in the
hierarchy, then check for modifications at any level shows it as an
ignored item. The contents of this folder are also ignored. So when do
you need the */Fred */Fred/* form?
