Relative recursive patterns should be rewritten using **

[aomarks]

Per https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format, if you have a .gitignore pattern that does not contain a slash at the start or in the middle, then it matches recursively in any sub-directory relative the .gitignore dirname:

Examples:

• foo.js matches ./foo.js and ./bar/foo.js
• foo/ matches ./foo/ and ./bar/foo/
• /foo.js only matches ./foo.js
• foo/bar.js only matches ./foo/bar.js

However, currently when using the [relative] tag, globs are rewritten simply by prepending the dirname of the .gitignore, e.g.:

• foo.js becomes relative/path/foo.js

This is incorrect, because it converts recursive patterns into non-recursive ones. I think patterns without a slash at the start or middle should instead be re-written using a **:

• foo.js becomes relative/path/**/foo.js
• foo/ becomes relative/path/**/foo/
• /foo.js becomes relative/path/foo.js
• foo/bar.js becomes relative/path/foo/bar.js
