Patterns may contain wildcard characters "\*" which matches a path string of any length, and "?" matches +a single character. Note that both "\*" and "?" will match any character including the path separator "/". The path separator is always a "/", even on Windows. When matching a path against a list of patterns, the path is compared with the part after "+" or "-", one pattern at a time. Therefore, the order of the patterns is significant. If a match with an include pattern is found, the path is said to be included without further comparisons. If a match with an exclude pattern is found, the path is said to be excluded without further comparison. If a match is not found, the path will be excluded if all patterns are include patterns, but included otherwise. Patterns ending with a "/" apply to directories only, and patterns not ending with a "/" apply to files only. -Patterns ending with "*" and "?", however, apply to both directories and files. When a directory is excluded, all files and subdirectories +Patterns ending with "\*" and "?", however, apply to both directories and files. When a directory is excluded, all files and subdirectories under it will also be excluded. Therefore, to include a subdirectory, all parent directories must be explicitly included. For instance, the following pattern list doesn't do what is intended, since the `foo` directory will be excluded so the `foo/bar` will never be visited:
