The code (introduced in ec3b6fa8e18a) tries to require that the user has either typed an existing directory, or that it's a wildcard spec. But it does this in the wrong way -- and it does this misguided thing wrong, anyway. :-/ I'll try to fix it some other way. Just changing the t to confirm doesn't really help, because then you can type in non-existing directories. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
