Hi all,
I've noted that in my Eclipse Helios, with Egit 0.8.4, there are always differences in what the command line git sees and what egit sees. In particular:
1) if I commit from egit, I can see the commit in the command line but a command line git status gives me the same dirty index as the previous commit.
2) on a new created project egit states that I have to commit .classpath, .project and .settings, while my exclude file has the following (and in fact git status from the command line gives me nothing to commit):

*~
*.class
build/*
*.xml
*
build.number
project
settings/*

Now, while problem 2 can be solved with Window->Preferences->Git->Ignored Resources adding items from exclude into that, problem 1 has not a trivial solution for me.
Any explanation of that and/or clues on how to solve?

Hi,

problem 1 is easy to explain: egit/jgit did not honor your exclude file or any .gitignore file. In the last days there was a lot of work in that area and in theory jgit/egit is able to understand your .gitignore files (not sure about the exclude file, I guess you mean that at .git/info/exclude file, right?). Means: you don't have to wait long anymore until we honor your excludes

problem 2 sounds interesting. Have you created a bug for this issue in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advan ced;product=EGit;product=JGit;classification=Technology?
