Bug description

• I have a git repository with some sources and it is clean.
• Now I create a subfolder "libs" and checkout another git repository (lest say "helper").
• I now go to the git index view and right click the helper and choose "ignore"
• egit creates a .gitignore
• I commit the git ignore file

Actual behavior

• helper is still showing as an unversioned file with the git repo icon.
• one can now again choose "ignore" from the right click menu in which case one gets the same line added again to the git ignore.

Expected behavior

I would expect nothing to see as the folder is ignored.
