Hi,
I'm using vcsh[1] to have my dotfiles in GIT. With that I use a .gitignore file
referenced by core.excludesfile that looks like this:
# ignore everything by default
*
# but do not ignore emacs stuff
!.emacs.d/
# but than again please ignore backup files inside the .emacs.d folder
.emacs.d/backups
Now I'd expect git status to show everything in .emacs.d but not to show
.emacs.d/backups. However the .emacs.d/backups folder is still shown in git
status. I'd say that this is not in line with the man page and might be
considered a bug.

Thank you,

Which version of Git are you using? You may be hitting a regression
that was introduced in Git 1.8.3 and is fixed in Git 1.8.3.1.
