    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: Low
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 2.3.2
    • Component/s: Git
    • None
    • Environment:

      Mac OSX Sierra. I am running Sourcetree 2.3.2

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      I have a file in the root of my project called:

      backup/gmail/getmail/oldmail-imap.gmail.com-993-a@b.c-[Gmail].All Mail

      This is a typical Getmail log file / config file.

      When I add this file to gitignore, it will create the following entry in my repository's gitignore file:

      oldmail-imap.gmail.com-993-a@b.c-[Gmail].All Mail

      This does not stop git or Sourcetree from detecting the file as new.

      Please see the screenshot attached. I've censored the email address. Let me know if I forgot to include vital information.
