This PR fixes an issue where ignore patterns with different formats (**/folder, **/folder/, and /folder//*) weren't being handled consistently.
Changes
Problem Solved
Users previously had to know the exact pattern format to use for ignoring directories. Now all three common formats work as expected, improving usability when excluding directories with patterns like:
--ignore "**/bin"
--ignore "**/bin/"
--ignore "**/bin/**/*"
