I'm getting the following warning:

.gitignore: line 7: error parsing glob '**.sw[po]': invalid use of **; must be one path component

By looking at the gitignore man page, I assume the correct way to write this would be **/*.sw[po], but git seems to accept both versions.

Yup. There are a number of issues for this, so closing as a duplicate.

FYI, if your don't want to see error messages from parsing ignore files, you can use --no-ignore-messages.
