It just occurred to me that this would also escape '.gitignore' to
'..gitignore', which personally I'd like, but others might find
surprising. So the exact escaping rule might need a little more
thought/debate. I certainly want to escape '.git' to '..git' though, and
to avoid edge cases we also need to escape '..git' to '...git' and so
on. So perhaps the match should be /^\.+git$/.
