Research direction
Reproduce the case from the issue using a project rooted at /home/caleb/projects/sile and a single ignore entry for sile. Trace the library's ignore-rule matching from its repository entry point, then verify that matching stops at the Git root and does not ignore everything under the parent folder.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
For project directory /home/caleb/projects/sile my .gitigore file has a single line entry for sile to ignore generated file /home/caleb/projects/sile/sile. This rule is parsed by this library to ignore everything in that folder.
The parent folder should not be part of the matching. Stop at the git root.
