I agree that all the pattern handling stuff like in my example is pretty awful; it’s also a big area where libgit2 was inconsistent with Git’s behaviour on either of those versions too. I’ve played around and now got a .gitignore file that behaves consistently across Git 2.6, Git 2.7 and libgit2 0.23.4 (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/.gitignore) so there’s no outstanding issue on my side.
