Plugin marking included files as ignored

See original GitHub issue

Since upgrading to the latest version of this (very useful!) plugin, I’m getting warnings that some files are ignored by git that actually aren’t. This occurs when I use blocks like this in my .gitignore:

wp-content/plugins/*
!wp-content/plugins/plugin-to-include-anyway
!wp-content/plugins/another-exception

For now I have turned off the ‘Inform about ignored files that are still tracked’ and ‘Inform about editing ignored file’ options. This is probably similar to issue #340, but I’m creating a separate issue since this is a different syntax that isn’t understood properly.

Yes I just about reported the same issue, even with the following line:

/project
!/project/build.properties
!/project/plugins.sbt

The plugin show me the message

Ignored files found that are tracked: .ignore plugin found some files that are tracked with Git which are also listed in .gitignore file.

And advice me to remove them with git! oh no, don’t do that! it is not a joke!

I can confirm that behavior with IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.5 and plugin version 1.7.6

build/releasePhar/ !build/releasePhar/.gitkeep

.gitkeep file is marked as ‘ignored, tracked with git’ but in fact git do not ignore it because i told git to not ignore it. Message appears after update from IDEA 2016.3.2 to 2016.3.5 and updating plugin to 1…7.6.
