Trailing slash just means "match directory" as opposed to "match file
or directory", so ".deps/" matches every directory named ".deps", while
the ".deps" pattern also matches files called ".deps". I'd rather such
a file showed up in "git status" so such a weird thing would be noticed.
The leading slash to match only relative to the .gitignore file's
directory is only implied with slashes somewhere within the pattern,
e.g. "doc/texinfo.tex" and "/doc/textinfo.tex" have the identical
meaning.

Good point.
