I'm struggling to understand how to use "stop directories" in a combined
upward/downward search.
I have the following directory layout:
/home/user/test/
| nosearch/
| | file.txt
| stopdir/
| | somedir/
I expect these commands in Vim to NOT find the file "file.txt", because the
search should stop at "stopdir" and avoid searching the "nosearch" directory:
:cd /home/user/test/stopdir/somedir
:echo findfile('file.txt', '**;/home/user/test/stopdir')
However, instead I get the output:
/home/user/test/nosearch/file.txt
Likewise, if I do the following:
:set path=**;/home/user/test/stopdir
:find file.txt
Then file.txt is edited.
What am I doing wrong? I thought I'm doing just about exactly what's documented
in the help under :help starstar, item 3) "Combined up/downward search".
Tested in a "HUGE" 8.0.987 build on both Windows 10 and an Xubuntu VM.
