The test is ambiguous about whether we complain about foo.t/file, or
foo.t, if there was foo.t{file,file-two} would we complain just once or
twice?

I think it's just the directory, but probably worthwhile for the test to
make the distinction. If it's a "a/sub/dir/file" do we complain about
"a/" or "a/sub/dir/" ?
