Bugfix: Make `find` not sometimes ignore directories

In some cases, the `find` command ignored empty or moved directories. This has
now been fixed.

walker: Remove ignoreTrees functionality It was only used in two places: - stats: apparently as a minor performance optimization, which is unlikely to be important - find: filtered directories would be ignored. However, this optimization missed that it is possible that two directories have the exact same content. Such directories would be incorrectly ignored too. Example: ``` mkdir test test/a test/b restic backup test restic find latest test/b -> incorrectly does not return anything ``` Thus, remove the functionality as it's apparently too complex to use correctly. 2024-01-06 12:59:47 +00:00
