.gitkeep files in data/runtime subdirectories should be kept in git

[elyukai]

For me, the .gitignore configuration still made it so that the .gitkeeps in data/runtime subdirectories are ignored. The small adjustment made the exclusion rules work for me.

Actually I think we could use /data/runtime/**. Does that work for you?

An idea that ignore all files and folders except folders have .gitkeep file.

/data/runtime/**
!/data/runtime/**/
!/data/runtime/**/*.gitkeep

@afbora With your exact rules it would also want to include the actual session and cache files, so that’s not working for me sadly. @lukasbestle’s suggestion is working for me tho so I’ll update the PR accordingly for now.

EDIT: The following works for me:

/data/runtime/**
!/data/runtime/**/.gitkeep

[elyukai]

Actually, while I thought it worked, I made the mistake of checking it with an already-existing commit. So this actually still does not work for me. But I could generalize it more with

/data/runtime/*/*
!/data/runtime/*/.gitkeep

I haven’t found a way yet to make it work no matter the depth of the .gitkeep file.

I’m sorry for the whole back and forth! And I’ll be awaiting further comments here before making more changes to the actual code.
