 Add a new command "git check-ignore" for debugging .gitignore
 files.

The above is v4 plus the "t0008: avoid brace expansion" fix.  v4 is
slightly outdated and not quite the right version to merge to 'next'.
I'll post a v5 re-roll as per:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/212184/focus=212856

in the next 24 hours or so.

I think the "t0008: avoid brace expansion" fix at the tip should
probably be squashed into its parent.  I've amended the commit message
accordingly in my github fork.

Thanks,
