If the pattern contains a non-trailing slash, then the pattern is
matched against the whole path (relative to the directory the .gitignore
file is in), not just against the filename relative to its parent
directory. So if you want to ignore "foo" only in the directory the
.gitignore file is in use "/foo" (without the quotes).
