Re: [PATCH] Fix off by one error in prep_exclude.

Nope the problem Johannes Sixt was having was that he mistakenly ran

git clean -n /*foo

Now that isn't what he meant to do, but I figured it might be possible
that someone has their whole filesystem in a git repository, or maybe
is using some sort of chroot on their repository.  Your malformed
paths guess is probably much more likely to occur.

That is not a user error from the syntax point of view (although
it might be from the semantics point of view).  I think the
caller of the excluded() function (that is probably somewhere in
builtin-clean.c -- I did not check) is responsible for not
supplying such a path to the called function.
