Git enables one to ignore folders / files. For instance:

folderName

Git also enables one to make exceptions. For instance:

!folderName

My question is, if it is possible to make exceptions of the exception. For instance, given the following folder structure:

  • sub1
    • subsub1
      • exceptedFolderThatShouldNotBeExcepted
      • exceptedFolder
      • exceptedFile
      • exceptedFile2
    • subsub2
    • subsub3
  • sub2
  • sub3

It has a folder, subsub1, which may contain lots of files that usually are ignored, but should not be ignored. This is why !sub\subsub1 is added to gitignore. But there should be an exception to that: exceptedFolderThatShouldNotBeExcepted should be ignored.

Thus, I am looking for an option like!!exceptedFolderThatShouldNotBeExcepted that leads to git ignoring just that folder.

The motivation for this is not having to except all the other folders and files (exceptedFolder, exceptedFile, exceptedFile2).
