"CVS/" is a member of `completion-ignored-extensions' in both versions of
Emacs (21 and 22). I'm asking why it should behave that way despite that.
    

Because the "foo/" form in completion-ignored-extensions didn't work in
Emacs-21, so the "CVS/" entry had no effect whatsoever.
  

Perhaps we should also make it so the "/foo/" form also works, for specifying that only subdirectories called "foo" should be matched, not directories like "barfoo" that merely end in "foo".
