This is what is needed to mask all files in all nested directories, except the foo file:

don't ignore dir a

!/a

ignore everything in dir a

/a/*

don't ignore dir b

!/a/b

ignore everything in dir a

/a/b/*

don't ignore dir c

!/a/b/c

ignore everything in dir a

/a/b/c/*

don't ignore file foo

!/a/b/c/foo

don't forget this one

!.gitignore
