--paths-from-file only works with directories #583

I ran git filter-repo --paths-from-file ../keep.txt where keep.txt has a list of file paths, and the result was only the initial (empty) commit from the repo.

When I put directory paths in keep.txt, those are kept in the history.

If I manually --path for each of the exact same strings, it works as expected.

Version

$ git filter-repo --version

Also happens on current HEAD:

~/code/github/git-filter-repo/git-filter-repo --version

Oops. Somehow when I produced my input file, there was a trailing space on each line, i.e. (_ for space):

foo_
bar_

Sorry for the false alarm!
