Subject: gitignore bug: including files in an excluded directoy does not work.
Message-ID: <809f58722b8bdb916fa7816cd80d3833-EhVcXl1BQAtYRw8cBxcBWQEwfgFLV15YQUBGAEFbXkI3XV8WXlhwH1RQWEFeRENtXlhdQ1hSWAtfWg==-webmailer2@server05.webmailer.hosteurope.de>

steps to reproduce:

git init
echo /src/config > .gitignore
echo \!/src/config/readme.txt >> .gitignore
mkdir -p src/config
touch src/config/readme.txt
git add src

expected results:
git should add the readme.txt file

actual result:
git doesn't add the readme.txt file


additional comments:

pre to the commit d6b8fc303b it was possible to archive the wished effect
with this .gitignore file:
------------------
/src/config/
!/src/config/readme.txt
------------------
The pre d6b8fc303b git fails to detect that it can exclude src/config.
Thus it checks the directory content and finds out that the readme.txt
matches both - the exclude and the include pattern.

    gitignore(5): Allow "foo/" in ignore list to match directory "foo"
