Exceptions in .dockerignore

Question

How does .dockerignore handle exceptions?

For example, I would like to ignore everything from the src/ directory except for src/web/p

Answer 1

Just wanted to add in case others run into this question, that from docker 1.7.0 exclusions are supported in the .dockerignore file. So the example !src/web/public in the question actually works
