I think I've got a hang on the "unify" patch now.

Actually I think this is a shortcoming of gitignore. You ask to
"exclude one except one/a.1" and one/a.1 should show up. '!' is
designed from day one to deal with the other way around ("include one
except one/a.1"). And it's arguable (and it was in the mail archive)
that if you already exclude "one", we should never ever descend there
to pick up "!a.1" from one/.gitignore. But we should do it with
already collected patterns, at least if we detect there are negated
patterns following the pattern that excludes a directory, e.g.
!one/a.1 or even !*.c. For the latter case, the user can always move
"!*.c" up before "one" if they don't want git to misinterpret and
descend in every excluded directory.

Nit pick, maybe this instead?

Same.
