The .gitignore rule "Icon?" will also match directories such as "icons/", at least on a case-insensitive file-system (this happened to me on OS X 10.7). I only noticed this several days later because a developer was complaining about missing icons in his repository. I don't really know what type of files this rule is supposed to match, but I guess the described behavior is not expected.

This rule was making any folders with the name of 'icons' to be ignored. Removed as per: github/gitignore#183
