The 'git add' command will not add ignored files by default. If any
ignored files were explicitly specified on the command line, 'git add'
will fail with a list of ignored files. Ignored files reached by
directory recursion or filename globbing will be silently ignored.
The 'add' command can be used to add ignored files with the `-f`
(force) option.
