Missing ? wildcard character in gitignore documentation

Hello,

I have just noticed that the documentation for gitignore is missing documentation on using the ? to match any single character. I have included a example below with git version 2.14.1.

|11:05:09 j ~/Development/ls-ignore [master] $ git status On branch
master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. nothing to
commit, working tree clean 11:05:11 j ~/Development/ls-ignore [master] $
cat .gitignore *~ node_modules yarn* 11:05:21 j ~/Development/ls-ignore
[master] $ touch test.swo 11:05:31 j ~/Development/ls-ignore [master]?1
$ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with
'origin/master'. Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in
what will be committed) test.swo nothing added to commit but untracked
files present (use "git add" to track) 11:05:35 j
~/Development/ls-ignore [master]?1 $ echo "*.sw?" >> .gitignore 11:05:40
j ~/Development/ls-ignore [master]≠1 $ cat .gitignore *~ node_modules
yarn* *.sw? 11:05:51 j ~/Development/ls-ignore [master]≠1 $ git status
On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. Changes
not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be
committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in
working directory) modified: .gitignore no changes added to commit (use
"git add" and/or "git commit -a")|

Noticed it when checking an npm package (ignore) that uses the documentation (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore) to determine its functionality. It is documented in https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository#Ignoring-Files

Cheers.
