Just to add my two eurocents: I think the patch is complicated enough that we could go the other way round: while parsing the ignore entries, we can plainly state that entries with a trailing slash are ignored: -- snipsnap -- [PATCH] Warn if an ignore/exclude entry ends in a slash Git does not like ignore entries ending in a slash; they will be ignored. So just be honest and warn the user about it.
