- if it does not contain a slash '/', it is a shell glob
pattern and used to match against the filename without

+ leading directories.
- otherwise, it is a shell glob pattern, suitable for
consumption by fnmatch(3) with FNM_PATHNAME flag. I.e. a
--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore
--------------------------------------------------------------
+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
+from getting ignored.
