without leading slash, it ignores all files with these names (cron.php,
get.php, index.php, api.php), whereveer they are

According to [this](http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/thefind-feed-1.html) TheFind Feed module does not come with the latest versions of Magento( > 1.6).

Thank you

Magento keeps a log of official patches applied in this file.

The line for `install.php` blocks adding *any* file with that name. In this instance, it caused Git to ignore a file for the Aitoc_Aitsys module located at: `app/code/local/Aitoc/Aitsys/Model/Module/Install.php`
