Hi, I noticed the following difference when using the pattern "/(*)/" (ignore all directories where the name is enclosed in parenthesis) If you have a ".gitignore" - file that contains the pattern "/(*)/", a directory that matches the pattern is ignored completely. If you put the same pattern into the ".git/info/exclude" - file, the pattern does not work - these directories still show up. I expected that all directories anywhere the repository that match the pattern to be ignored. Am I doing something wrong? Is the pattern not correct?
