This is a mistake in the documentation.  When you don't specify any file
or directory pattern, all files are selected.  Directories are not
selected.  This works like using {filename = .*}.

You can get both directories and files with:

      :tree . {filename = .*} {dirname = .*}

Sorry for the confusion.  It was done this way, because getting a mix of
directory and file names is less useful than getting a list of files
only.  I use it in a few of my Aap scripts.
