    ignore: fix determining whether a shorter pattern negates another When computing whether we need to store a negative pattern, we iterate through all previously known patterns and check whether the negative pattern undoes any of the previous ones. In doing so we call `wildmatch` and check it's return for any negative error values. If there was a negative return, we will abort and bubble up that error to the caller. In fact, this check for negative values stems from the time where we still used `fnmatch` instead of `wildmatch`. For `fnmatch`, negative values indicate a "real" error, while for `wildmatch` a negative value may be returned if the matching was prematurely aborted. A premature abort may for example also happen if the pattern matches a prefix of the haystack if the pattern is shorter. Returning an error in that case is the wrong thing to do. Fix the code to compare for equality with `WM_MATCH`, only. Negative values returned by `wildmatch` are perfectly fine and thus should be ignored. Add a test that verifies we do not see the error.
