error parsing glob '!**.sha1': invalid use of **; must be one path component

[Yggdroot]

There is a .gitignore in the source of chromium:
$ cat .gitignore

*/*
!**.sha1

If run rg as this: rg --files, the error ./.gitignore: line 2: error parsing glob '!**.sha1': invalid use of **; must be one path component is printed.

What is the expected behavior? The error message seems pretty clear. In any case, this is a duplicate of #373.

Oh, sorry, did not notice it.

I'm getting this even with no uses of ** in my gitignore. Even with no gitignore at all.

Turns out that an extension had generated some invalid files.exclude workspace settings. Sorry for the hassle.
