gitignore man page has this "It is not possible to re-include a file
if a parent directory of that file is excluded". In this case,
directory "foo" is ignored by "*". Although it makes sense for this
particular case to re-include something in foo because we can clearly
see there are rules to re-include. It's on my todo list, but I don't
know when it will be implemented.
