## EXPRESSIONENGINE DIRS
# this assumes your system folder is above the root
# to simplify updates/rollbacks, I append '_OLD' to my system and themes folders,
# but I don't want to track that business
#
# i keep another .gitignore in public_html/ that is compiled from that of 
# HTML5 Boilerplate (https://github.com/paulirish/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/.gitignore) and 
# the ExpressionEngine file from 
# github/gitignore (https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/ExpressionEngine.gitignore)
