Merge branch 'dw/check-ignore-sans-index'
"git check-ignore" follows the same rule as "git add" and "git
status" in that the ignore/exclude mechanism does not take effect
on paths that are already tracked. With "--no-index" option, it
can be used to diagnose which paths that should have been ignored
have been mistakenly added to the index.
* dw/check-ignore-sans-index:
check-ignore: Add option to ignore index contents
