Explicitly list $HOME/.config/git/ignore as one of the places you
can use to keep ignore patterns that depend on your personal choice
of tools, e.g. *~ for Emacs users.

  SYNOPSIS

  DESCRIPTION
  -----------
@@@ -79,10 -79,8 +79,10 @@@ PATTERN FORMA
  
   - An optional prefix "`!`" which negates the pattern; any
     matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become
 -   included again.  If a negated pattern matches, this will
 -   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`".
  
@@@ -184,19 -182,6 +184,19 @@@ Another example
  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
 +    # exclude everything except directory foo/bar
 +    /*
 +    !/foo
 +    /foo/*
 +    !/foo/bar
