Subject: [PATCH] gitignore: root most patterns at the top-level directory

From: Jeff King <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:10:24 -0400

Our gitignore doesn't use a preceding "/" to root its
patterns in the top of the repository. This means that if
you add a file or directory called "git" (for example)
inside a subdirectory, it will be erroneously ignored.

This patch was done mechanically with "s/^[^*]/\/&/" with
one exception: instead of ignoring gitk-wish, we should
gitk-git/gitk-wish (arguably, this should be done in
gitk-git/.gitignore, but because that is a subtree merge
from elsewhere, this is easier).

This bit Sverre while I was looking over his shoulder. I doubt it comes
up very often, but we should probably be modeling good gitignore
behavior. I have to admit it looks a lot uglier, though.
