 I don't think so. The whole sentence reads as follows:
 
         *   The program accesses a file called .cpignore in each directory
             it descends into on the source to obtain a list of exceptions
             for that directory -- that is, files not to copy or mess with.
 
 Perhaps it could be reworded as "each directory of the source [tree] into 
 which it descends", but this is (IMHO) a matter of taste, and I'd rather 
 not get involved in those.
