Rails 5 Capistrano Deploy only sending shallow assets images

Using Rails 5.1.4 and capistrano-rails 1.3 (yarn and webpacker) to deploy to Ubuntu server.

All is working well except that "deep" folders of app/assets/images are not being precompiled and/or sent to the server.

All images at the root level of app/assets/images are getting precompiled and sent to /appname/current/public/assets. However, I also have an app/assets/images/content sub-folder. That sub-folder does not get sent to the server.

I've checked to be sure it isn't just a symlink issue, but it appears not: Even the source directory /home/deploy/appname/releases/20180106013806/public/assets is missing the /content folder.

I've made sure that Rails should be including "deep" images with the following in config/initializers/assets.rb:

Dir.glob("#{Rails.root}/app/assets/images/**/").each do |path|
  Rails.application.config.assets.paths << path
end

At this point not really sure if this is Rails failing to precompile the "deep" folder, or it not getting sent during the Capistrano deploy process.

Well... This is one of those problems that becomes obvious when you step away from it!

Had /app/assets/images/content in my .gitignore file which means Capistrano dutifully ignored it! Removed that from .gitignore and Capistrano deployed it as expected.
