Proposal: Sort '!' to the bottom of the gitignore file, so inclusions are more important than exclusions

Issue

The unity and visual studio templates conflict with each other in the sense that unity relies heavily on *.meta files when versioned and VS is excluding these files. Both solutions are used alongside very often, so they should be matched to work together.

You say now: This sounds like a template issue, you are right, but I'd propose an improvement to this tool.

For example: This tool could check if the one is having a !*.meta where the other is having a *.meta (unfortunately unity's template doesn't use this notation yet)

Expected Behavior:

Either

Give info where the templates conflict, give users a chance to select which rule is active or inactive. e.g. track *.meta or ignore *.meta
OR (even better solution) automatically see the ! listed items as more important as the exclusion, so basically sorting all the sections (all items listed under a # section) containing ! items to the bottom of the generated file (order in .gitignore matters)

so for example, this whole section should go to the end of the generated gitignore file

# Unity3D generated meta files (include & exclude)
!*.meta
*.pidb.meta
*.pdb.meta
*.mdb.meta

Actual Behavior:

stapling files together, order in list will define who wins the fight over inclusion or exclusion

Reproduction Steps:

generate a file with unity and visualstudio together --> will exclude *.meta files
even if unity would include a !*.meta file, the order would decide which on wins (inc/exc)
