$ git-ls-files --ignored \
--exclude='Documentation/*.[0-9]' \
- --exclude-from=.git/ignore \
+ --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude \

+Another example:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+ $ cat .gitignore
+ vmlinux*
+ $ ls arch/foo/kernel/vm*
+ arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
+ $ echo '!/vmlinux*' >arch/foo/kernel/.gitignore

+The second .gitignore keeps `arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S` file
