gitignore path matching for additional commandsgitignore-style path matching for additional commands
The "lfs.fetchinclude" and "lfs.fetchexclude" Git configuration options, if set, are used to control the action of a number of Git LFS commands. Since PR git-lfs#4556, the "git lfs clone", "git lfs fetch", and "git lfs pull" commands have strictly applied gitignore(5)-style matching rules to these configuration options. However, other commands including "git lfs filter-process" and "git lfs smudge" now apply gitattributes(5)-style matching rules to these same configuration options, leading to confusion. We therefore revise all remaining uses of these configuration options to also use gitignore-style matching rules. We also add new tests for the "git lfs filter-process" and "git lfs fsck" commands and adjust or expand existing tests for the "git lfs prune" and "git lfs smudge" commands in order to confirm that gitignore-style matching is used for all of them. These new and updated tests fail if gitattributes-style matching is used instead. (Note that the "git lfs migrate" command does not require any changes because it does not read the "lfs.fetch*" configuration options. Instead, it supplies a "false" value for the "useFetchOptions" flag to the determineIncludeExcludePaths() function, so any "lfs.fetch*" configuration values are ignored. This is significant because "git lfs migrate" deliberately uses gitattributes-style matching for any path patterns supplied via its -I/-X command-line arguments, unlike all other commands that accept -I/-X arguments as overrides for the "lfs.fetch*" configuration options.)
A number of Git LFS commands honour the "lfs.fetchinclude" and/or "lfs.fetchexclude" configuration options, including the "git lfs filter-process", "git lfs fsck", "git lfs prune", and "git lfs smudge" commands. We therefore update the existing documentation on how these filter configuration options function, and add additional notes on their operation with regard to several other commands. We also fix a few formatting issues and references as well.

Yeah, having a consistent interpretation here seems like the right thing to do.
