I think it'd be wise to have a convention of leading slash anywhere
the pattern is not meant to be global. It won't matter to git in
leaf dirs, but it might prevent somebody from making a copy-and-paste
error later; or perhaps more likely, might prevent a problem if what
had been a leaf directory acquires children.
