According to git's documentation of gitignore (git-scm.com/docs/gitignore), "**/foo/bar" matches file or directory "bar" anywhere that is directly under directory "foo".

This does not seem to work with EGit. Files matching that pattern are shown as outgoing additions in the Synchronize view, whereas running git status from the command line says the working directory is clean.

Using Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers 4.4.1 with EGit 3.4.2.
