I doubt we do anything clever like that.

        $ git init
        $ touch hello.o "hello.o " "hello.o  " hello.c
        $ echo "*.o " >.gitignore
        $ git status | cat -e
        # On branch master$
        #$
        # Initial commit$
        #$
        # Untracked files:$
        #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)$
        #$
        #       .gitignore$
        #       hello.c$
        #       hello.o$
        #       hello.o  $
        nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)$
        
The user tells to ignore anything followed by a dot followed by a
lowercase Oh followed by a SP.  We ignore "hello. ", but not "hello.o"
nor "hello.o  " (two SPs at the end), just as told.
