Thanks, comments from a quick glance. First of all, can we make it
work (or share code) with .gitattributes? We may need to debug
.gitattributes as well as .gitignore. A common command would be nice.

Also --quiet option, where check-ignore returns 0 if the given path is
ignored, 1 otherwise?

I think we should have a few levels of verbosity.
- The --quiet I already mention above.
- If many paths are given, then perhaps we could print ignored paths
(no extra info).
- Going to the next level, we could print path and the the location
of the final exclude/include rule (file and line number).
- For debugging, given one path, we print all the rules that are
applied to it, which may help understand how/why it goes wrong.

I don't think we really need NEED_WORK_TREE here. .gitignore can be
read from index only.
