Description Robert Munteanu

When adding an entry with the value '/target' in .gitignore, the '/target' directory is ignored by both CGit and EGit. When moving the same entry in .git/info/exclude, the directory is ignored by CGit but not by EGit.

It seems _all_ entries in .git/info/exclude are ignored by EGit (version 0.9.3).

Yes, we don't support '.git/info/exclude' yet.

Just to put things into context, git-svn generates these entries by default, in order not to 'pollute' the SVN repository with .gitignore files.

Duplicate of bug 328428?

Hm, possibly. At least I would retest once that bug is fixed.
