I think --ignore should give an error if the --ignore matches a file
already in the repository.  The current behaviour is clearly somewhat
ambiguous.

Alternately (or additionally!) a command that would check and report if
there is any file(s) that would match the --ignore or the ignore-glob flag
would be helpful.
