+## .dockerignore
+
+If a file named `.dockerignore` exists in the source repository, then it
+is interpreted as a newline-separated list of exclusion patterns.
+Exclusion patterns match files or directories relative to the source repository
+that will be excluded from the context. Globbing is done using Go's
+[filepath.Match](http://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath#Match) rules.

+The following example shows the use of the `.dockerignore` file to exclude the
+`.git` directory from the context. Its effect can be seen in the changed size of
+the uploaded context.
