Description Michal Rus

I have the following .gitignore file:

*
!*.java
!*/

It should ignore everything but the *.java files in current directory and its subdirectories.

And it certainly ignores every file (but the ones matching *.java) in .gitignore's directory.

However, it also "unignores" all files in subdirectories, regardless of extension. 

This .gitignore file works as expected using command-line git.

Actually this is another reincarnation of bug 448094.

@Michael, can you please mark it as duplicate of 448094 (use "status" field below "comment" field). I can't do that because I have not enough rights.
