Description
Description
I have the following project structure
my-project/
test_1.py
test_2.py
test_3.py
subproject/
2501/
test_1.py
2502/
test_1.py
I want to run the all 3 tests in my-project and the test for the subproject release 2502
So I try
pytest --ignore my-project/subproject my-project my-project/subproject/2502
However, only my-project/subproject/2502/test_1.py is run. According to the documentation, all tests except my-project/subproject/2501/test_1.py shall be run.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the documented command with the shown project structure and compare pytest's collected paths with the expected root tests plus release 2502. Trace the collection and ignore handling used by this command, then add coverage showing that the explicitly selected subfolder is collected while the ignored subproject release is excluded.
