previously the files would be selectively added matching the pattern with their filenames, and directories which did not contain any of those files were removed from entryList now remove all directories completely when pattern is used
previously, pattersns only applied to file names. afterwards, directories that did not contain any matching files were removed now, the patterns apply directly to the directories as well. no futher processing for directories are done

question: should I completely remove removeDirectoriesWithoutFilesUnder() function now?
a user could theoretically use a filter like this:
filter="(type eq 'file' and name like '*.log') or (type eq 'dir')"
Without removeDirectoriesWithoutFilesUnder , he would see every directory. With removeDirectoriesWithoutFilesUnder , he would only see directories that contain a log file under them.
