tools/power/acpi/.gitignore has the following entries: acpidbg acpidump ec They are intended to ignore the following build artifacts: tools/power/acpi/acpidbg tools/power/acpi/acpidump tools/power/acpi/ec However, those .gitignore entries are effective not only for the current directory, but also for any sub-directories. So, the following directories are also considered to be ignored: tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidump tools/power/acpi/tools/ec They are obviously version-controlled, so should be excluded from the .gitignore patterns. You can fix it by prefixing the patterns with '/', which means they are only effective in the current directory. I also prefixed the "include" consistently. IMHO, '/' prefixing is safer when you intend to ignore specific files or directories.
