Incorrect "You are editing file which is ignored" for non vcs ignore files

See original GitHub issue

My project has both .gitignore and .dockerignore files.

The .dockerignore file lists quite a lot of files that are just not needed for docker, but are still part of the project, tracked in git, etc.

It seems that only the gitignore (or related svn/etc) files should trigger the “You are editing file which is ignored” flag, everything else, eg dockerignore, npmignore shouldn’t cause this.
