moby: .dockerignore should a support including ignored content
If the only thing you want in your dockerfile is the Gemfile of a project it is tedious to use .dockerignore to exclude everything manually.
With .gitignore there is support for including things allowing you to do:
/*
!/Gemfile
!/Gemfile.lock
Having similar for dockerignore would be very nice.

+1 on making
.dockerignoreact the same as.gitignore. After all, I think this is what people expect?@wyaeld I basically just want a docker image with all the dependencies fetched and configured.
The actual content of the project I mount as a volume and no need to have the docker image contain this content as duplicated.
