Hmm. In leaf subdirectories it doesn't matter of course, but I'm
worried about .gitignore files in non-leaf subdirectories accidentally
excluding files further down the tree. Wouldn't it be better to
standardize on always using the slash, rather than not using it?

I'd say no, there's only one or two instances.
