Previously the code did a simple prefix match, which means that a path in
a directory "frotz/" would have matched with pathspec "f".

 * And this is a companion patch to fix ls-tree.  The test case uses a
   tree that has path3/1.txt and path3/2.txt in it.

   The bug Eric diagnosed and worked around in git-svn makes the current
   code show these two paths when pathspec "pa" and "path3/a" are given.
   The presense of "path3/a" makes the tree walker traverse down to path3
   subtree (in case something that matches "a" is in there---this is a
   correct behaviour), but then in that subtree, "pa" incorrectly matches
   "path3/1.txt".

   This logic dates back to 0ca14a5 (Start adding interfaces to read in
   partial trees, 2005-07-14).  I think it is just a simple oversight and
   we should fix it.
