Subject: [PATCH 1/5] dir.c: clean the entire struct in clear_exclude_list()

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 20:13:42 +0100

Make sure "el" can be reuseable again. The problem was el->alloc is
not cleared and may cause segfaults next time because add_exclude()
thinks el->excludes (being NULL) has enough space. Just clear the
entire struct to be safe.
