  Description     : Makes gitignores easier.

It's not limited to gitignores, it can do similar formats (list of files). I need a sponsor.

Hi,

It's not clear to me what this does that makes it more useful than other
more-general-purpose commands that we already have packaged, such as
find or (for simpler usage) fdfind (from the fd-find package).

For instance, the example in your readme of:

  pastaignore ".*\.o" not "\.\/demo\/important.*\.o"

can (unless I'm missing something) be done with fdfind thus:

  fdfind -E '^demo/important*' ".o$"

BTW does pastaignore take the current .gitignore into account, or does
it just put out all filenames including the already ignored ones?  I
only ask becuase fdfind does use .gitignores (optionally) so will only
list files that are not already ignored, which seems like a useful
feature in such a program.

Cheers, Phil.
