Hi,
In the kernel tree, I see 2 .gitignore files that use "+pattern":
./arch/blackfin/include/asm/.gitignore:+mach
./arch/blackfin/boot/.gitignore:+vmImage
However, I can't find anything about '+' on the gitignore(5) man page
at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html .
Does the '+' mean something special or is it just a character in the
filename/dir pattern?
Thanks,
--

AFAIR, this should be just a shell glob fnmatch(3) understands, so perhaps
their build procedure leaves temporary droppings in a file whose filename
is prefixed with './+'?

OK, I'll ask the blackfin developers/maintainers about it.
Thanks.
