Subject: "git ls-files -i" does not shows ignored files on Windows
Message-ID: <85647ef50905261036u2d3c00c9lcf0df8f29de051ef@mail.gmail.com>

I have encountered a strange problem on Windows (cygwin git 1.6.1.2
and msys git version 1.6.2.2.1669.g7eaf8).

Lets execute the following sequence of commands:

git init
echo a >.gitignore
echo test >a
git ls-files -i --exclude-standard

The last command in the sequence gives an empty output. But "git
status" and "git ls-files -o --exclude-standard" show only
".gitignore" file as untracked. So the file "a" is considered as
ignored by git, but it is not displayed in output "git ls-files -i
--exclude-standard".

Does the bug happen on other platforms and versions of git?

Constantine
