Description
Hi, is it possible that the .dockerignore file next to the Dockerfile is not being used to ignore files in the build context?
I used to think only the .dockerignore file in the root of the Docker build context was used and I know that it is not possible to specify another .dockerignore file using command line arguments (e.g. `-i path/to/.dockerignore`).
Then I read about this file naming workaround: [Filename and location](https://docs.docker.com/build/concepts/context/#filename-and-location).
This works fine when I use `docker compose build`, `docker buildx build`, and `docker buildx bake`.
However, opening in a container, this `Dockerfile.dockerignore` next to my `Dockerfile` is not being used, while the one in the root of my context is working.
