I have the followin .gitignore file.

plugins
code/golang/*
!code/golang/src/goclient

I expected that everything under code/golang/* would be ignored except !code/golang/src/goclient.

What am I doing wrong - do you know?

Try specifying the exact subdirectory.

#exclude everything in golang     
code/golang/*      

#except the src subdirectory
!code/golang/src/* 

#exclude everything in source
code/golang/src/*

#except the goclient
!code/golang/src/goclient

You need to do like this:

plugins
code/golang/*
!code/golang/src/
code/golang/src/*
!code/golang/src/goclient/
