If you put "foldername/" in your .gitignore file, egit should ignore all directories named "foldername", no matter where they appear in the folder tree. 

For Example if your folder structure looks like this:

root_folder/
 + folder/
      + subfolder/

and you have a .gitignore file in root_folder containing the line "subfolder/", then subfolder should be ignored. Git does that on the command line, EGit does not. Egit shows the folder and its contents still as "untracked" and indicates this with a tiny questionmark.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a directory and a subdir and a subdir within this subdir.
2. Create a .gitignore file in your root dir. Add "dirname/" of the innermost subdir to your .gitignore
3. If you do a commit, all files within this subdir are listed as "untracked"
