Conversation
A directory rule left it showing as untracked in every worktree status, which is how it once got committed.

.gitignorehad_opam/, which matches a directory only. Every git worktree here points_opamat the main checkout's switch with a symlink, so git listed it as untracked in everygit status— and that is how it ended up committed to main earlier today (undone by #294, with the switch path of one machine baked into it).Dropping the trailing slash covers the file, the symlink and the directory. Verified all three:
git check-ignorematches_opamas a symlink, as a directory, and_opam/libinside it, and a fresh worktree now has a cleangit status.
