Description Hendy Irawan

2015-01-07 00:16:41 EST

My .gitignore has the following:

# IntelliJ
**/.idea/copyright
**/.idea/libraries
**/.idea/scopes
**/.idea/.name
**/.idea/*.xml
**/*.iml
**/*.ipr
**/*.iws
**/out/
**/.idea_modules/
atlassian-ide-plugin.xml

Just to pick one example, the rule "**/*.iml" correctly ignores *.iml files (can be directories) in this and any subdirectories below, tested with git command line and IntelliJ IDEA.

However, in Eclipse/EGit , that rule only ignores *.iml in directories BELOW the current directory. However, the *.iml files in current directory are still included.

Probably related to Bug 454672.

please retry using jgit/egit 3.6.0, the ignore rule parser was rewritten (see bug 440732) to improve performance and also support ** patterns which weren't supported in earlier versions.

I've had same problem. After update to eGit 3.6.2. Everything works ok.
