It's not clear what to do here. One solution that I thought of was
that 'ignore' only applies to files that are found recursively -- so
if you say "add init.d/", then net.lo will be ignored, but if you
actually straight-out say "add init.d/net.lo", then it will still be
added.
The problem with this is that it makes "add ." and "add *" quite
surprisingly different, so I'm dubious.
Any ideas? How do other systems handle the "no, really, I actually
don't want to ignore this file, even though I said so elsewhere" case?
(In your case, I really would recommend overriding the ignore hook,
since the default really is designed for software development
projects...)
