Hi Francis,

> You must "git add .gitignore" first. And yes, this is by design.

Err, that's a bit odd isn't it because "git add" stages the content into
the index but the whole point of specifying files on the command line
to "git commit" is to commit the changes in the specified files while
ignoring what's currently in the index (so says the man page for commit).

Cheers,

Mark
