What does this PR try to resolve?

This makes it more explicitly.

fixes #16889

How to test and review this PR?

I didn't try adding more for the others. They are resolved or mentioned already:

Files in gitignored directories may still be matched unexpectedly

This is more a concern in cargo package/cargo publish. The doc already encourages checking the result of cargo package --list before publishing. The addition in this PR also explicitly say gitignore from Git is not respected by include.

The ! prefix can be used to explicitly exclude such paths

This is mentioned a few lines down.

The options are mutually exclusive; setting `include` will override an
`exclude`. If you need to have exclusions to a set of `include` files, use the
`!` operator described below.

You are right; this is tricky. I've made several attempts at alternatives but not happy with them so far. Might as well do this for now.
