github/gitignore — pull request #838 by tiredpixel (2013-11-11 19:54:28+00:00)
Title: Slashify Ruby files and directories.

This is an update of https://github.com/github/gitignore/pull/616. Since that pull request, many slashes have been added to the Ruby `.gitignore` file, which is most pleasing. There are still some which can be added, however, so I've rebased this branch onto an up-to-date master and am submitting a new pull request.

Peace, tiredpixel

Perhaps this is a little pedantic, but without the initial / all such matches within the repository get ignored, and without the trailing slash files as well as directories of that name get ignored. e.g. Specifying `tmp` and `test/tmp` without slashes is redundant, as `tmp` already ignores `test/tmp`, as well as every other `tmp` and `tmp/`.
