use gitignore implementation in shell bash

Hi!

I have a question about gitignore.

There is a git extension called git ftp, written by René: https://github.com/resmo in bash. This extension uses git to push only the changed files to the ftp server. Currently this extension uses grep to decide which file is ignored by upload. It uses a config file called .git-ftp-ignore which contains the regex patterns. I was wondering it will be better if we could use a gitignore style config file, and I found an issue for there: https://github.com/resmo/git-ftp/issues/191#issuecomment-14647798 Now we are discussing about how is that possible.. If anybody can help in that it would be awesome! I thought there is a slightly chance to use the original .gitignore implementation for that. Is that possible somehow?

If you want to contribute, or you have an answer please write into the linked issue: https://github.com/resmo/git-ftp/issues/191 The developer of the project cannot see this mail list, I am just an user of his product...

Many Thanks! Laszlo Janszky

Two possibilities that come to mind are the "git ls-files" (read the doc and find the option to have it read .gitignore file) command, and the "git check-ignore" command.
