New ignore patterns
- -------------------

Patterns prefixed with ‘!’ are exceptions to ignore patterns and
take precedence over regular ignores. Such exceptions are used to
specify files that should be versioned which would otherwise be
ignored. Patterns prefixed with ‘!!’ act as regular ignore patterns,
but have highest precedence, even over the ‘!’ exception patterns.

^- You have some UTF-8 chars here. Which the document *is* utf-8, but it
doesn't seem necessary to use the fancy quotes for this. (I explicitly
used the wrong encoding to make them obvious. My mail client defaults to
latin-1 for attachments, even if it uses utf-8 for text...)
