Subject: something like git-check-ignore but considering only patterns?
Message-ID: <CAC4O8c-2sxHyAjtd4jZQcjzX4d9+19AUx-h13nttjwP=pd1Ukw@mail.gmail.com>

I'd like to query if a file e.g. symLinkToDir/foo.o would be ignored
if it were in a real dir instead (don't ask) but in a general way and
hopefully without parsing and matching all the .gitignore entries
myself.  Is it possible?

Thanks,
Britton
