Yeah.. it looks like libgit2's gitignore support was written new, not
imported from C Git, so behavior differences (especially in corner
cases) and even lack of some feature ("**" support comes to mind). For
isolated features like gitignore, perhaps we can have an option to
replace C Git code with libgit2 and therefore can test libgit2 against
C Git test suite. It could be a good start for libgit2 to invade C
Git. Not sure if anybody's interested in doing it though.
