git_path_is_gitfile

Version:

Check whether a path component corresponds to a .git$SUFFIX file.

As some filesystems do special things to filenames when writing files to disk, you cannot always do a plain string comparison to verify whether a file name matches an expected path or not. This function can do the comparison for you, depending on the filesystem you're on.
