Dear Support Team,

I am facing a serious issue with .gitignore (see attachment).

The problem is that the folder contents of 04 - Software/SW Code/STM32/Lib/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/ are ignored because of a suspected misinterpretation of .gitignore.

Here are some results that you could find useful:

$ git clean -ndX Would remove 04 - Software/SW Code/STM32/Lib/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/

$ git check-ignore -v "04 - Software/SW Code/STM32/Lib/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/" 04 - Software/SW Code/STM32/Lib/Drivers/CMSIS/.gitignore:2:Device 04 - Software/SW Code/STM32/Lib/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/

Since in the path there is no '~' (tilde) character, it seems a bug to me.

Git version: 2.20.1.windows.1

It looks like you have a .gitignore file in the "CMSIS" directory that contains the string "Device", which is why this directory is ignored. Is that indeed the case?
