Ignore negation works differently than it Git

I just struggled with a Flake for a while and finally figured out some sources were being excluded from the Flake because ignore rules were being handled differently than Git itself does.
!scripts/*.in
scripts/*
In Git, this will result in all the autoconf template files ending with .in
being tracked and everything else in the scripts directory (the AC_CONFIG_FILE
output in my case) ignored. With gitignoreSource
the order of operations is different and everything is getting ignored.

It seems that only the opposite order is tested:
gitignore.nix/tests/testdata.nix
