Arnaud Rebillout 8c4449180f Adjust .gitignore 
Since commit cf029a87c9, I get this error:

```
$ git add --verbose kali-config/common/includes.chroot/usr/lib/live/config/0031-kali-user-setup
add 'kali-config/common/includes.chroot/usr/lib/live/config/0031-kali-user-setup'
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
kali-config/common/includes.chroot/usr/lib/live/config
hint: Use -f if you really want to add them.
hint: Disable this message with "git config advice.addIgnoredFile false"
```

This is because wildcards were dropped, ie `config/* became `config/`
and `chroot/*` became `chroot/`, and I don't really understand *why* it
caused the change in behavior, but let's not go down the rabbit hole.

It seems to me that we want to ignore directories at the root, so be
explicit about that, and that's enough to fix the issue.

Kali-Live Build-Scripts

live-build configuration for Kali ISO images.

These are the same build-scripts that the Kali team uses to generate the official Kali Linux base images, found here: kali.org/get-kali/.

Build your Kali Linux image today!

These images can be used to live boot into Kali, from such a USB/CD/DVD/sdCard, as well offers a basic installation. For more customization during setup, see kali-installer.

Have a look at Live Build a Custom Kali ISO for explanations on how to use this repository.

There are also other code examples of live-build, as well as code examples for pre-seed to automate/unattended installation.
