Thanks, there was a bug in the file name hash table.
I've pushed a fix.

This was the same problem.

Each file that is found is run through all the matchers, and the last
one that matches wins.  So, this worked for me to ignore everything, but
allow .c files:

!*
*.c

The first line ignores everything, but then the second line accepts .c
files.

I didn't look into this yet.
