steps to reproduce:
git init
echo /src/config > .gitignore
echo \!/src/config/readme.txt >> .gitignore
mkdir -p src/config
touch src/config/readme.txt
git add src
expected results:
git should add the readme.txt file
actual result:
git doesn't add the readme.txt file
additional comments:
pre to the commit d6b8fc303b it was possible to archive the wished effect
with this .gitignore file:
------------------
/src/config/
!/src/config/readme.txt
------------------
The pre d6b8fc303b git fails to detect that it can exclude src/config.
Thus it checks the directory content and finds out that the readme.txt
matches both - the exclude and the include pattern.
