Excludesfile rules (i.e. .gitignore rules) are generally read from
.gitignore files in the repository tree or from a shared system file
only if a "core.excludesfile" config value is set. The library also
keeps a set of per-repository internal ignores that can be configured
in-memory and will not persist. This function allows you to add to
that internal rules list.
Example usage:
error = git_ignore_add_rule(myrepo, "*.c\ndir/\nFile with space\n");
This would add three rules to the ignores.
@param repo The repository to add ignore rules to.
@param rules Text of rules, a la the contents of a .gitignore file.
It is okay to have multiple rules in the text; if so,
each rule should be terminated with a newline.
@return 0 on success
Add ignore rules for a repository.
