When pulling from a repository that tracks a file listed in `.gitignore` that would overwrite a local file, this is not reported.
For example, in the attached repositories, when doing `git pull tst1` in `tst2`, it is (correctly) reported that `ignored.not` would be overwritten, while `ignored.txt` is not reported.
