Re: Ignore pattern for a subdirectory?

The same. It makes no distinction between files and directories (as far
as I know).

Yes, I guess that could be improved a little: the "Ignoring Unversioned
Items" starts off well taking about files and directories, but later
coins the term "file pattern" and sometimes mentions only files and
sometimes "objects" for both. That can be said of any document. If only
there was a generally accepted term for a thing that can be a file or
subfolder, we might have avoided this ubiquitous "Program Files" folder
that shouldn't actually list any files.
