Ignores the directory /proc, if / is a working copy.

The biggest difference here is for deeper levels:

   /etc/**.dpkg-old
vs.
   ./etc/**.dpkg-old

The latter one would ignore /usr/local/etc/x.dpkg-old, if /usr/local/etc is the 
working
copy; the first one would match, regardless if the wc is /etc or /.

Mostly the same as above.
With
  /proc
the directory is ignored, with
  /proc/**
only the contents.

That makes a difference mostly on restore - with /proc you'd have to make the 
mount
point yourself.
