True. Well noted - I'd overlooked that issue. Philip

Oh, and I might add that if the OP does a "git rm", it would be a very good
idea to use the --cached otherwise the actual files will also be removed from
the WEB-INF subdirectory. Been there, done that. Luckily I was able to recover
by doing a "git checkout HEAD^ -- files".

Subject: [git-users] Help with .gitignore
I could use some help with gitignore. I set up a .gitignore file in the
root of my project with a line for WEB-INF. Before setting up that .gitignore,
the project has already been "init" and "commit" to master as well some
branching. Do I have to do anything else? It appears that git is not ignoring
the files in WEB-INF.
Those files that are already in your repo (that is: they are 'tracked' by
git) and will continue to be tracked until you specifically remove them ('git
rm <files>').
The learning point is to add your .gitignore immediately after you 'git
init' and before you commit any of your work files. It is easy to forget.
