git bug Report: Inconsistent behavior caused by [] in.gitignore

1. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Create a git repository in the following directory:
.
|-- folder1
|   `-- a.txt
|-- folder13
|   `-- c.txt
|-- folder2
|   `-- b.txt
`-- foo.txt

3 directories, 4 files"

Then edit .gitignore and enter the following:" # -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - # INVALID FILES # -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - folder1[/] folder2/ folder1[3] ".

2. What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Execute `git status` and observe that only foo.txt is being tracked.

3. What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Execute `git status` and observe that folder1/, foo.txt are all tracked.

4. What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Execute `git status`,  folder1/ should be ignored.

5. Anything else you want to add:
We set up two controlled trials in.gitignore:
1. folder1[/] and folder1[3]. The folder13 directory is ignored, indicating that the parentheses [] worked for the number 3, only for the slash /. (The role of the parentheses [] is to select one of the characters, in order to show a sharp contrast, I only wrote one character, please ignore this small detail);
2. folder1[/] and folder2/. The folder2/ directory is ignored, and the folder1/ directory is not ignored as expected.

My opinion: In.gitignore, set “folder1[/] folder2/”, their behavior should be consistent, that is, folder1/ directory and folder2/ directory are not tracked. When logic is inconsistent, users will find it difficult to understand and become unnecessary bugs.
