Thanks for that. :) Now, I've added the archive to my toolbar for future
checking.

The full text follows (without HTML tags; I had used {raw}). 

Currently, the top level .gitignore (of LilyPond's repository) contains
these patterns:

*.eps
*.svg

I found no pattern negating them, in any .gitignore file (at any directory
level).

If any files match patterns in the .gitignore's, then:

* Should those .gitignore patterns be deleted?

* Should those matching files be removed?

* Should the top-level .gitignore include a negating pattern, to cause Git
to version-control the files? Such as (in the present case):

!/Documentation/pictures/**/*.eps
!/Documentation/pictures/**/*.svg

* (If the present, peculiar situation is exactly what is desired then)
should the top level .gitignore include some comment explaining it?

Because of these patterns in the .gitignore's, Git will ignore changes to
those files. 

Actually, the following files (in the repository on the server) match these
patterns in the .gitignore's:

$ find * -name '*.eps'
Documentation/pictures/context-example.eps

$ find * -name '*.svg' | sort
Documentation/pictures/bwv861mm33-34-annotate.svg
