.gitignore ** rules not consistent with regular git syntax

See original GitHub issue

folder/other-folder/**/**js does not ignore folder/other-folder/dir/main.js. Double asterisks should be interpreted here as two asterisks, which match anything - see https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format

I am using isogit in a plugin to the Obsidian note-taking app on Android. The issue came up there: https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git/issues/297

isomorphic-git uses ignore (https://github.com/kaelzhang/node-ignore) to parse .gitignore files and determine which files to ignore, so this is actually a bug in ignore.
