I find these pattern matches that are not anchored on either side
somewhat disturbing (e.g. --ignore-refs=master would ignore master2)
but ignore-paths codepath seems to follow the same pattern, so perhaps it
is in line with what git-svn users want. I dunno.
My own personal use of this takes a list of patterns, concatenates
them into one giant pattern, adds '^', '$', and writes it out to
.gitconfig. So I don't really have a preference, other than to make
both options consistent.
