Does not used nested .gitignore files

[maurizi]

With a .gitignore file located in bin/ containing:

*
!gitignore

I would expect files or directories in bin/ to be ignored when running TagsGenerate!. They were not ignored unless I put

bin/*

in a top-level .gitignore file

[szw]

Yes, only top level .gitignores are used. Do you think it is common enough to support it?

Its a pretty common pattern to add a gitignore file to a directory when you want to check in a directory but not it's contents...
