.gitignore ** rules not consistent with regular git syntax

[NomarCub]

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: denolehov/obsidian-git#297

Double asterisks should be interpreted here as two one asterisks

[NomarCub]

The doc says this:

Other consecutive asterisks are considered regular asterisks

So I think it really is two asterisks.

@NomarCub Since you need to feature maybe you want to do the fix? This project is driven by contributors. I'm a maintainer but I don't write code myself for this project. And there is no primary author, that will do all the hard work.

[NomarCub]

I kinda have a lot on my plate now, but I might take a look eventually.
I made this issue not so much because I need a fix very badly, but more to confirm and inform devs and users alike that this discrepancy exists, because I would have liked to know this info earlier when I went Googling about this.

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.

Thanks for pointing that out. It also looks it has been reported (or at least a variation of this case): kaelzhang/node-ignore#57

[NomarCub]

I have no means to verify for my examples anymore, but apparently this has been solved in node-ignore.
