--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Hi Torben,

I can't reproduce this. E.g.

$ pwd
/Users/djm/cvs/openssh
$ echo foo >> regress/misc/Makefile
$ git diff
diff --git a/regress/misc/Makefile b/regress/misc/Makefile
index 14c0c279..07a8f1c2 100644
--- a/regress/misc/Makefile
+++ b/regress/misc/Makefile
@@ -1,3 +1,4 @@
 SUBDIR=                kexfuzz

 .include <bsd.subdir.mk>
+foo

Moreover the behaviour you describe seems at odds with this line from
the manual for gitignore:

> If the pattern does not contain a slash /, Git treats it as a shell glob 
> pattern and checks for a match against the pathname relative to the location 
> of the .gitignore file (relative to the toplevel of the work tree if not 
> from a .gitignore file).
