Hi , ALL I don't understand .gitignore well, how should i make it? my git version is 1.8.3.1 1. "Trailing spaces are ignored unless they are quoted with backslash ("\")." seem not always work. *end '/' with or without t**railing spaces will be differnet, in my test.*
2. in my opinion, why logic of gitignore is so strange? Office Documentation is not clear: 1) i guess rules of format pattern is take one by one like* if ...:then ... [elif ... : ...]+ else:...* so the last leading slash "*/pattern*" how to work? logically , before has some *Otherwise, is it strange that some if after final else? and how pattern to be solved ?my understanding is fnmatch?* 2) "Git treats it as a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname relative to the location of the .gitignore file (relative to the toplevel of the work tree if not from a .gitignore file)."* i don't understand it personally, how shell glob pattern work , and how function parametrs set ?* and then stackoverflow some results <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24139478/when-to-use-leading-slash-in-gitignore> , i retest it and find this rule will try recursive the directory tree to find possible pattern matchs. Is the above url's understanding correct? 3) the overall logic seem *strange and unclear* for me personally, it seems i have to read source code to get all logic. *I don't feel clear enough neither the big picture nor the details to design .gitignore. *for example, why we can reinclude subdirectory but not files...
