Do you mean because the empty glob expression doesn't match everything,
but the empty regular expression does?

The easiest solution seems to be to just check if the empty string is
listed and handle that separately (whatever the correct behaviour is in
that case), but on the other hand, why should a user list an empty
string in the list of ignored files?
