I'm not sure about the filename pattern .[^.]*
Is it dependent on the shell, does this work with others than bash? Or should
there be another solution?


Makefile: also copy top level hidden files to the rootfs

Hidden files and directories that are located directly under / haven't been
copied to the target rootfs. But for example you may need the shell startup
file /.profile when your home directory is set to /
