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.
