Provide a library function/method for converting a glob to an uncompiled regex string. about python-pathspec

[cpburnz]

@kwlzn This has been implemented.

I could make a class method part of RegexPattern to convert the glob patterns to the regular expression strings.

@classmethod
def pattern_to_regex(cls, pattern) -> (regex, include)

GitIgnorePattern would then implement it and use it inside of its __init__(). If you want access to the raw regex string, you could acquire it via:

>>> pathspec.GitIgnorePattern.pattern_to_regex('/dist/')
('^dist/.*$', True)

sgtm!
