When this repo is a dependency of another one, and only the other one .git's folder is used, the absolute paths git-ignoring apply to the parent project too; thus possibly ignoring files from the parent project.
And really, there's no need to make these paths absolute.
Note: relative paths in .gitignore apply as if this file was located at /.gitignore.
