  Description     : Ruby library to match path patterns such as gitignore

This library implements matching of path patterns as they exist in gitignore
files. With this library you can load a gitignore file, and then verify that a
path matches one of the patterns listed in the file. You can also find out all
of the files maching different patterns in a whole hierarchy of a filesystem.

This library is a ruby port of the python library with the same name.


This package is required by puppet-development-kit (pdk) that I'm currently
working to package.

I plan on maintaining this package within the ruby team. Since I do not have
DM or DD status, I will need a sponsor for the package which I will ask in the
ruby team once it's ready.
