Status of .gitignore awareness in 0.9? [message #555091]

Hi,

EGit does not recognize folders in my .gitignore file. I have several projects in one directory which share a .gitignore file.

root_folder/
   - project_1
   - project_2
   - ...
   - .gitignore

My top level .gitignore file contains "CMakeFiles/". According to the gitignore specs, this should make git ignore all folders with that name no matter where they appear in the file hierarchie.

However every "CMakeFiles/" folder is marked by EGit as "untracked".

BTW, it works great with files. They are ignored in the whole file hierarchie if they are set in the top level gitignore file. But folders do not seem to work.

I use the EGit nightlies (0.9.0.201008171311).

EDIT: FYI: everything works as expected on the command line. ("CMakeFiles" folders are ignored)

cheers,
Janosch

Can you file a bug for this?

It should work.
