tools/bpf/bpftool/.gitignore has the "bpftool" pattern, which is intended to ignore the following build artifact: tools/bpf/bpftool/bpftool However, the .gitignore entry is effective not only for the current directory, but also for any sub-directories. So, the following file is also considered to be ignored: tools/bpf/bpftool/bash-completion/bpftool It is obviously version-controlled, so should be excluded from the .gitignore pattern. You can fix it by prefixing the pattern with '/', which means it is only effective in the current directory. I prefixed the other patterns consistently. IMHO, '/' prefixing is safer when you intend to ignore specific files.
