The exception to that rule is if some other directory
Test is more explicitly specified as an include; I
think this is handled as well as can be in
couldHoldIncluded().

This method does as little as it has to. When this
(private) method is called, other methods have
determined the matching as well as we already have
had. isDeeper defers to SelectorUtils to return
tokenized path Vectors... if the pattern Vector
contains "**" it is infinitely deep and thus is
deeper, otherwise the pattern Vector must contain more
tokens than the name in order to be considered deeper.
Thus if we have no patterns that match files at
deeper levels than we have already reached, we do not
scan.
Hope this clears up a bit,
Matt
