Merde!

$ git ls-tree master Project/bin/path/file.jjt
100644 blob 8d5e24f12c37fd1a435de2d4402591f5b0c2a3cc
Project/bin/path/file.jjt

There's a file.jjt in the repo already! But guys! I bet I'm not the
first one having this problem. Do you think it would be wise to have a
kind of a check returning
    'The file '...' ignored in the branch X is not ignored in the
branch Y (or something)'

instead of responding questions like mine over and over again?
