This is a test repository for inspecting the output of git commands that operate based on .gitignore patterns, such as the command:

git check-ignore -vn "XXX/\'"

That command has the same effect in both PowerShell and in POSIX-compatible (Bourne-style) shells like Bash: the final command-line argument is treated as the literal text XXX/\'. (On Windows, this is itself escaped and included in a command string from which it has to be parsed out, but the usual parsing rules turn it back into the literal value.)

The value XXX/\', and the pattern */\' in .gitignore, are from make_baseline.sh in the test suite of gitoxide.
