     Put a backslash ("`\`") in front of the first hash for patterns
     that begin with a hash.

 -   override lower precedence patterns sources.
 +   included again. It is not possible to re-include a file if a parent
 +   directory of that file is excluded. Git doesn't list excluded
 +   directories for performance reasons, so any patterns on contained
 +   files have no effect, no matter where they are defined.
     Put a backslash ("`\`") in front of the first "`!`" for patterns
     that begin with a literal "`!`", for example, "`\!important!.txt`".

  The second .gitignore prevents Git from ignoring
  `arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S`.
  
 +Example to exclude everything except a specific directory `foo/bar`
 +(note the `/*` - without the slash, the wildcard would also exclude
 +everything within `foo/bar`):

 +--------------------------------------------------------------
 +    $ cat .gitignore
