Describe your bug.

In a particular LLVM checkout, this search returns some results:
rg ApplyCallback a/ b/ benchmarks/ bindings/ c/ cmake/ docs/ examples/ include/ lib/ projects/ resources/
But this search returns no results:
rg ApplyCallback a/ b/ benchmarks/ bindings/ c/ cmake/ docs/ examples/ include/ lib/ projects/ resources/ runtimes/
Since I have only specified one extra directory to search, I would not expect fewer results.

What are the steps to reproduce the behavior?

git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
cd llvm-project/llvm
mkdir a b c
rg ApplyCallback */

What is the actual behavior?

The rg command above returns no results.

What is the expected behavior?

The command should return some results, because the search string occurs in e.g. include/llvm/TableGen/TableGenBackend.h.

Note that llvm-project/llvm/.gitignore contains:

runtimes/*
!runtimes/*.*

I have seen some related issues like #2498 and #1050 but this one seems to be slightly different.
