quick question about ignores

[tomasz86]

@acolomb

@tomasz86 Do you have any experience or advice how using a catch-all “/” pattern compares to using “*” as last entry? The latter seems more popular, but I actually like the former not relying on wildcards.

Turning the ignore patterns into a whitelist?

Looking at how the patterns are parsed, the end result for / is simpler than for * so the slash could be slightly more efficient. There’s no reason for that, we could simply optimise one to the other, if the difference was relevant or even measurable (which I doubt it is). The asterisk feels more obvious as “everything” to me, though.
