[recommenders-dev] gitignore not ignoring project files

[Ayudh Das <ayudh.d@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

Sorry for asking so many questions.

The eclipse project files (.project) are getting changed during the import as eclipse maven project. But they shouldn't bother as .project files are in .gitignore. But still, on git status the following message arrives.

# On branch experiment

# Changes not staged for commit:

#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)

#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

#

# modified:   tests/org.eclipse.recommenders.calls.rcp.tests/.project

# modified:   tests/org.eclipse.recommenders.completion.rcp.tests/.project

# modified:   tests/org.eclipse.recommenders.rcp.tests/.project

# modified:   tests/org.eclipse.recommenders.tests/.project

#

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

what shall i do, so that i don't end up making commits which are not needed, and may end up polluting the source tree.

Please help

Regards

Ayudh
