Description

It appears that rejectFiles makes broccoli-select fail if no files are found to skip.

I think it would be better for the meaning of broccoli-select to mean "give me the files, except exclude any that match "abc*" ".... meaning that it is OK if those don't existing, just make sure they don't exist.

Research direction

Start by locating rejectFiles in broccoli-select and trace how it handles a glob that matches no files. Confirm the current failure with the repository's existing checks, then make exclusion patterns succeed when no matching files exist and verify that matching files are still excluded.
