gitignore broken in git 1.7.0.1: slash checks leading dirs

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,
