Subject: Relative paths don't work in .gitignore as would be expected.

I have this in my .gitignore:

  ./*.js

I would expect that to cause git to ignore .js files in the same
folder as .gitignore, but it doesn't do anything. However, this works:

  /*.js

I'm not sure what this actually means because a leading slash is the
root of some filesystem, and we're not in the root, nor do gitignore
files always exist in the root of a git repo. Being able to have

  ./*.js

in .gitignore would make much sense.
