hi, i setup git to use with eclipse through global excludesfile config. git-status report just ignore files, but git-clean deleted ignore files.

---- $ git-config -l core.excludesfile=/home/pal/.gitignore

$ cat /home/pal/.gitignore # ignore for eclipse .project .cproject

 $ git-status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

$ git-clean Removing .project
