The last line of
.gitignore(venv/) has null bytes interleaved between each character — looks like it was written in UTF-16 at some point. You can see it in a hex dump:0x88: 76 00 65 00 6e 00 76 00 2f 00 v.e.n.v./.This makes git treat the file as binary, and the
venv/pattern doesn't actually work on some git versions.Fixed by rewriting the file as clean ASCII. Same patterns, no content changes.
Verified with:
python3 -c "print(repr(open('.gitignore').read()))"
