The label and tooltip are too "git-specific", IMHO. I'd rather see:

IgnoreAction_label=&Ignore file(s) for commits... IgnoreAction_tooltip=The selected file(s) will not be included by default in your commits. However, you may force the include of these files in a commit by explicitly adding them via "Team->Add" [or whatever the label is]. \n\nSelecting files to ignore by this mechanism will automatically add one or more files named .gitignore in your next commit.
