As I originally used a Set, the empty lines and comments with same text where being filtered to a single occurence (the last one).
By changing the implementation to a LinkedList into which we add conditionally entries, we can save a new List instantiation + keep comments and whitelines non-distinct, maintaining dinstinction of the gitgnore lines (same line later in file makes sure we only keep that one)
See the changed test for the bug I was facing while first time running on a gitignore file with multiple empty lines.
