[PATCH 1/5] gitignore: Group patterns with and without slash

[Hans Ulrich Niedermann]

Group the .gitignore patterns into two groups:

  * Patterns including a slash, i.e. matching only relative to the
    .gitignore file's directory.

  * Pattern not including a slash, i.e. matching files anywhere in
    the .gitignore file's directory and all of its subdirectories.
