git-check-ignore: Use pathnames, one per line, from `stdin`.

$ git check-ignore --stdin < ${filename_list}

try on your machine

This command is used to check if a list of files is ignored by Git.

git check-ignore is the command used to determine if a file is ignored according to the Gitignore rules in your repository.
--stdin flag specifies that the list of files to be checked will be provided through standard input instead of writing them directly as arguments.
< ${filename_list} redirects the content of the file ${filename_list} as an input to the command git check-ignore --stdin.

So, the command reads the filenames from the ${filename_list} file and checks if each file is ignored by Git based on the repository's Gitignore rules.
