Yeah, it should still be relative to the path containing the .gitignore:

----
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/
$ mkdir foo
$ touch foo/bar
$ git add foo/bar
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
[master (root-commit) c9075695cce0] Initial commit
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 foo/bar
$ touch asdf foo/asdf
$ git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        asdf
        foo/asdf

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
$ echo "/asdf" > foo/.gitignore
$ git add foo/.gitignore
$ git commit -m "Test"
[master dc92ad57d7e8] Test
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 foo/.gitignore
$ git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        asdf

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
----

tools/thermal/tmon/.gitignore also uses the leading slash.

If you want to drop the /, I'm okay with it.
