Re: [regression?] trailing slash required in .gitattributes

would work. But it seems that match_basename, despite taking the length
of all of the strings we pass it, will happily use NUL-terminated
functions like strcmp or fnmatch. Converting the former to check lengths
should be pretty straightforward. But there is no version of fnmatch
that does what we want. I wonder if we using wildmatch can get around
this limitation.

Or save away pathname[pathlen], temporarily NUL terminate and call
these functions?
