Today I learned that while `.stignore` and `.gitignore` look very similar they
are not. My obsidian directory had been locked up for a few weeks and I had no
idea why until I logged into the web ui and saw errors. The errors were some
confusing regex validator not matching. I don't know what the exact error was,
but I went in and only ignored the files I cared about instead of the entire
gitignore. Primarily I was getting conflicts in my `.git` directory.
