Thanks for reporting. Allow me some time to fix it.
If I make a .gitignore with .pyc line in it and then in a subdirectory I create another .gitignore with !.pyc line in it, it seems that the negation line in the nested .gitignore is not taken into account. If I put x.pyc file next to the nested .gitignore, it is still being ignored when e.g. `tar caf content.tar --exclude-vcs-ignores <upper_dir>` is invoked. This above is not the greatest description so I prepared a reproducer (attached) to show the problem. Can this be fixed?
