You could have uploaded a new patch set since the one here shows:

"error: old chunk mismatch"

Otherwise, I think this lgtm2!

But note that the backslash is the pattern used in chromium .gitignore, hence I
followed that here when I added .gitignore to skia.

Also, just curious, which ag is this tool?

I don't see this error.  Can you show me where I should be looking?

ag is the commandline name for github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher.  It's a
bit of a pun.  It's name is meant to evoke ack, which is another tool that's
like grep -R but snazzier.  ag > ack > grep -R.
