status_should_ignore only works for absolute paths

[jacwah]

Calling Repository::status_should_ignore on a path of the form ./filename always returns true regardless of the current gitignore file. I tried canonicalizing the path instead which lead to the correct result being returned.

Is this a bug in git2-rs/libgit2? Am I missing something?

Ah unfortunately this may be behavior relative to libgit2, it looks like we just pass the file unmodified down to the lower layer.

Closing in favor of libgit2/libgit2#3979
