I haven't looked at the various code snippets that use the resulting
regexps, but I imagine that some are matching on the full file name and
some aren't?
But do you mean that completion-ignored-files should be on the form
(... "/CV[A-S]/" ...)?

If we want this to work against both full file names and nondirectory
parts, it'd be... er...
"\\(?:\\`\\|/\\)\\.git/?\\'"
I guess.
Which nobody is going to get right, so I wonder whether it should just
be a list of strings instead of a list of regexps.

I guess I should start poking at this and see how it works out in
practice. Skimming the places where it's used, I think it's about a
dozen locations that needs adjusting. But I may be overestimating.
