I started the other night and ran into the usual semantic problems wrt
meaning...rather than re-invent this wheel I found the pathspec module
another new dependency!) that purports to do .gitignore-style handling,
only it doesn't.  It's closer to  rsync include file syntax.  I managed to
get it really close only to fail on handling bare directories properly.
 Example:

Ignoring a doc directory in .gitignore:
doc

Ignoring a doc directory in my trial:
doc/

It occurs to me that fixing this too means maybe I started down the wrong
path.  This matters to be because I want to also leverage the existing
.gitignore files we have.

Just to join the party I pushed up the working state in
https://review.openstack.org/117772.
