The above implies to me that if a file matches multiple patterns, all
patterns are applied. My understanding is that only one filter is
applied - so the sentence above should say something closer to 'if a
file matches multiple patterns, an arbitrary one is applied'.
All of my debugging shows my interpretation to be correct - am I wrong?
Cheers,
