The canonical .dockerignore (at next, 430964c) keeps editor backups out with **/*.swp, **/*.swo and **/*.bak. Those patterns also match files under .git, such as the loose ref .git/refs/heads/<branch>.bak of a branch whose name ends in .bak. With that branch checked out, its ref is missing from the build context, git describe inside the build cannot read the version, and a plain docker build . fails.

Found in the cattbox re-vendor review, sneak/cattbox#56. The old cattbox copy avoided it by re-including .git/refs.

Definition of done

A branch named x.bak, x.swp or x.swo builds with a plain docker build . and stamps its version, while editor backups outside .git stay out of the context.
Every copy of .dockerignore in this repository stays byte-identical.

Model: opus-5-5
