title: GitExtensions ignoring .gitignore
body: <p>I am trying to use git as my VCS for a small project. (Using 2 PCs, both windows)</p>
  
  <p>As I don't like bash I am using gitExtensions, but somehow my .gitignore seems to get ignored by it. 
  This is what my .gitignore looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nbproject/private/
  build/
  nbbuild/
  dist/
  nbdist/
  nbactions.xml
  nb-configuration.xml
  build.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, my folder-structure looks somewhat like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>E:.
  ├───lib
  │   └───&lt;libary stuff&gt;
  └───trunk
      ├───build
      │   ├───empty
      │   ├───generated-sources
      │   └───web
      ├───dist
      ├───nbproject
      │   └───private
      ├───src
      │   ├───conf
      │   └───java
      └───web
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately it still includes the whole build folder, and every time I build it i get various new edited files in e.g. the build/generated-sources/ or the dist/, or build/web/</p>
  
  <p>I'm quite new to using .gitignore, so please bear with my low knowledge about it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks and I appreciate the help.</p>
