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.
