docs: .gitignore parsing is to the top of the repo

The current documentation reads as if .gitignore files will be parsed in
every parent directory, and not until they reach a repository boundary.
This clarifies the current behaviour.

As well, this corrects 'toplevel' to 'top-level', matching usage for
'top-level domain'.
