Good points.  I'll make a comment that directories-visited:1 is about
ensuring we only went into the toplevel directory, and I'll removed
the paths-visited check.

But to answer your question, the paths we visit are '.', '..', '.git',
and 'untracked', the first three of which we mark as path_none and
don't recurse into because of special rules for those paths, and the
last of which we shouldn't recurse into since it is ignored.  There
weren't any non-directory files in the toplevel directory, or those
would also be included in the paths-visited count.  A later patch in
the series will fix the code to not recurse into the 'untracked'
directory, fixing this test.
