From f72e9df0e04c0ea7b5c97e6db5b114234bf3c36f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:54:34 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Fix and clean top .gitignore Removed vmlinux* rule because it matches too many useful files, replacing it with rules matching filetype by filename (e.g. *.gz). Also unignored .mailmap from the top directory. Added a comment telling the user how to check for tracked files being ignored.
