Having a single entry of: F: arch/*/perf/ would serve the same purpose. Nominally, the difference between the 2 entries vs the 1 entry is this: F: arch/*/perf/* Only the specific files in any directory that matches this pattern but not any files in their subdirectories are maintained. F: arch/*/perf/*/* Only the files in any top level subdirectory of any directory that matches this pattern are maintained but not files in any directory of those subdirectories. F: arch/*/perf/ Any file or any file in any subdirectory of any directory that matches this pattern is maintained.
