This new line ignores the tracked file 'compat/win32/git.manifest' that was added fairly recently in fe90397604 (mingw: embed a manifest to trick UAC into Doing The Right Thing, 2019-06-27). I wonder whether that's intentional or accidental. I'm inclined to think that it's merely accidental, because, as far as I understand, this is an old-ish patch from times when there wasn't any 'git.manifest' file in tree, and simply noone noticed that in the meantime we got one. But I have no idea about how a Git build with Visual Studio is supposed to work, so it doesn't really matter what I'm inclined to think :)
