  YAGQ (yet another git question): is there a way to identify lines in
.gitignore files that appear to be superfluous? to be more
informative, if i have a software project, and it has a "make world"
target that should build absolutely everything, is there some
variation of, say, "git check-ignore" that will scan the hierarchy of
.gitignore files once that build is done and display the .gitignore
entries for which there are no matches?
