I went the other direction and excluded everything except what I wanted to
include, since I end up with stuff in the folder with the 4D structure that I
don’t want to track. I should add an ignore for the .DS_Store files too. I’ll
add the Settings folder at some point too.
# Ignore everything
*
# except the folders we want
!/Project
!/Resources
# and those folders' contents
!/Project/**
!/Resources/**
# allow specific files
!.gitignore

> SUMMARY:
> This build, and some recent previous ones, do not display block comments.
> This applies to block comments created in a previous version, 244065 for

> STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE BUG:
> 1. open a method
