I have a directory in my global gitignore file that has suddenly stopped working - i.e. it is not being ignored anymore.  I have attached my global gitignore file and a screenshot showing that the offending directory is now listing all its contents to be staged. This is making it extremely difficult to work because the offending directory contains a lot of files, so I can't easily see the files that I really do need to commit.   Kind wishes ~ Patrick CONTENTS OF GITIGNORE FILE ******************* #ignore thumbnails created by windows Thumbs.db #Ignore files build by Visual Studio *.obj *.exe *.pdb *.user *.aps *.pch *.vspscc *_i.c *_p.c *.ncb *.suo *.tlb *.tlh *.bak *.cache *.ilk *.log *.dll *.lib *.sbr GitFlowOne/GitFlowOne/bin/ GitFlowThree/bin/Debug/GitFlowThree.exe.config obj/ bin/ packages/ SolutionItems/Docs/ SolutionItems/~$*.docx *.tmp Output-Build.txt Output-Debug.txt *.cs.x
