Do that fit? shouldn't it be "test_cmp other-file output"? "git ls-files
-i --exclude-standard" should show the files in the index that are also
in the exclude list. And you only add other-file to the index. And
shouldn't there be also a "echo other-file > .gitignore"?

No, because it is building on the previous tests. The point of the test
is:

  - we already have 'file' tracked and in gitignore (from previous
    tests in the series)
  - we add other-file to have some other file which is tracked but not
    in gitignore
  - we check the output of "ls-files -i" to make sure that "file" is
    there, but "other-file" is not
