Hi,

I just Team->Share Project->Git for a lot of plug-in projects. The
projects were located in the workspace and the share operation moves
them to the git repo and reconnects them to the workspace. Now, for most
of the projects, EGit seems to create a .gitignore (Containing one line
bin/, great). Now the strange thing is that for some of the projects the
..gitignore file is not created. I try to find out why. Hints?

Thanks
Felix

Here's one: When I initially imported the projects into the workspace,
some of them come with a bin folder, some don't. If the bin folder
exists prior to importing the project, the .gitignore file isn't
created. So there seems to be some 'clever' logic that differentiates
between different kinds of 'bin' folders.

Manually marking the 'bin' folders as derived creates the .gitignore
file. Happy clicking.

This automatic detection depends on events fired by Eclipse [1], there may be situations where they aren't fired.
You may try to run a complete rebuild from scratch in Eclipse to provoke resending these events.
