Description Andrey Loskutov CLA 2012-12-02 17:14:58 EST 
Using latest nightly 2.2.0 build.

AS IS:
Make file or folder "ignored" by git from package explorer
.gitignore file is created
.gitignore file is marked with "unknown" state

TO BE:
New .gitignore file created as a result of "ignore" action in Eclipse should be automatically added to the git index. Otherwise the next thing the user can do is to navigate to the parent directory, unselect ". files" filter, search  for .gitignore and add it to the index manually. Why?

Slightly easier is to add it from the staging view
