How to ensure .gitignore file is preserved?

In my webpack file I have:
new WebpackCleanupPlugin({
exclude: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist/*.gitignore')]
})I've also tried a few other variations of the single element in the exclude array:
'dist/.gitignore''dist/*.gitignore'
Each time I run a build, the .gitignore file is deleted. Any thoughts?
| Thing | Version |
|---|---|
| webpack-cleanup-plugin | 0.5.1 |
| Node | 9.2.0 |
| webpack | 3.10.0 |

Perhaps I'm mistaken but I understood that the excludes would all be part of your output path. It's how I'm treating my excludes.
Try
new WebpackCleanupPlugin({
exclude: ['*.gitignore']
})
