Subject: [PATCH] Fixed #2148 - parse directory names properly when args
 contains ::.

This commit also improves readbility in get_dirs_from_args by using self
documenting local functions.

get_dirs_from_args also now only returns directories that actually exists,
and not files to avoid confusion.

This commit also removes redundant checks in get_common_ancestor that
was already performed in get_dirs_from_args..
