That's true, though you'd never (barely?) git version control an entire
file system?


A trailing "/**" matches everything inside. For example, "abc/**"
matches all files inside directory "abc", relative to the location
of the .gitignore file, with infinite depth.
(from man gitignore, though reading that and not finding a './' it may
need improvement
