--git-ignore parses paths beginning with / incorrectly

[fofoni]

If . is the root of a Git repository, and I want to ignore ./file.txt but not ./dir/file.txt, I can add the line /file.txt to .gitignore. Git supports this, but exa does not.

I'm also running into this issue. In one particular project I work on, .gitignore has the line:

/node_modules

which doesn't work (though it does work as expected in git), and therefore if I run exa --git-ignore --tree, it pegs one CPU core and doesn't finish. (I've let it run for more than 5 minutes this way before killing it)

It works as expected if I instead run exa --git-ignore --tree -I node_modules.
