I'm working on improving the Makefile of Elixir, and I'm going through what's 
being ignored in
the .gitignore file.
Some are candidate for removal.

****************************
1) /.release
It seems that it has been removed long time ago in these two commits.

commit 8ced611aee30a30ed6728a9ef32c0d7094f3a262

    We no longer have a .release task

M       .travis.yml

commit 85fca3de2ecc36436e655db6afa0acf9bfa51f43

    Properly declare .PHONY targets

M       Makefile

2) /rel/elixir

commit d44e8bd1f6efc54e664c28fdfc864af37e7e3129

    Remove release files

M       Makefile


****************************

Additionally I would like to make it explicitly clear when we are refering to a 
file or a directory
in the .gitignore file.
So what I propose it is to suffix direcotries with a "/"
this could also apply to the generated .gitignore file by "mix new",
I think it's good practice and saves the trouble to leaving people figuring out 
which is what.
I am speaking out of my own experience, because I thought some entries in the 
.gitignore file were
files when they were actually directories.

Thank you.
