## 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/ from
# HTML5 Boilerplate (https://github.com/paulirish/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/.gitignore)
