When I wrote the lines
bin/
pkg/
I was trying to match just the top-level bin and pkg directories, and I put the
final slash in because 'git help gitignore' says:
o If the pattern does not contain a slash /, Git treats it as a shell
glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname relative
to the location of the .gitignore file (relative to the toplevel of
the work tree if not from a .gitignore file).
o Otherwise, Git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable for
consumption by fnmatch(3) with the FNM_PATHNAME flag: wildcards in
the pattern will not match a / in the pathname. For example,
"Documentation/*.html" matches "Documentation/git.html" but not
"Documentation/ppc/ppc.html" or
"tools/perf/Documentation/perf.html".
Putting a trailing slash was my way of opting in to the "rooted path" semantics
without looking different from the surrounding rooted paths like "src/go/build/zcgo.go".
But HA HA GIT FOOLED YOU! above those two bullets the docs say:
o If the pattern ends with a slash, it is removed for the purpose of
the following description, ...
Change all the patterns to use a leading slash for "rooted" behavior.
This bit me earlier today because I had a perfectly reasonable source
code directory go/src/cmd/go/testdata/src/empty/pkg that was
not added by 'git add empty'.

The Go Programming Language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
