gitignore broken in git 1.7.0.1: slash checks leading dirs

[Jiri Slaby]

Hi,

having 'linux' line in .gitignore makes 'include/linux/vga_switcheroo.h'
to be ignored though the documentation says:
***
If the pattern does not contain a slash /, git treats it as a shell
glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname without
leading directories.
***

$ touch test
$ touch include/linux/vga_asdads.h
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-from=test
include/linux/vga_asdads.h
test
$ echo linux >test
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-from=test
test

This does not happen with git 1.6.

thanks,
