In your replies I am seeing doubled - signs. I am unsure if that is an
artifact of one of our email clients or if that is what you were
actually using. There should only be one - on those lines. The line
that says "- .*" should exclude any file that starts with a . other
than the specific examples previously listed as "+ .file".
