Pattern matching is executed against the whole path of the file using fnmatch.
If you pass --directory=. (the default) the path that will be tested against the pattern will be dir/path.
If you pass --directory=$PWD the path will be /home/user/project-root/dir/path.
This allows you to do things like --ignore=.git*, although for this you'd rather use --exclude-dir=.git.
