Description Missing name CLA 2010-07-16 04:34:06 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

When using the untrack feature to stop git from monitoring the files, the files do not stay untracked but are picked up as altered if the contents change (such as from running tests) and are added back into the repository. This requires another commit to remove them but each time unit tests are run the files get added back even if the entire directory is supposed to be ignored.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder such as a unit test output folder
2. Run tests that generate coverage reports or other information
3. Try to keep the files ignored by Eclipse. 
4. Is the .gitignore file being improperly used to monitor what files and folders to not look in?

.gitignore is not yet respected by EGit and JGit, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=315554&hide_resolved=1

We are working on this, see bug 319849

Does that answer your question or is there anything else missing here ?

.gitignore is taken into account now, see bug 319849
