I have a C/C++ perspective open right now. Navigator is on the left,
editor in the middle, outline on the right. In the navigator there are
several files that should be ignored. I'd like to right click on them
and select team/ignore. When I do that they will be ignored in git and
also disappear from my navigator.

I also don't like how I have a global .git for all of my projects
instead of a .git for each project individually. (Did I select that
when I first installed egit and didn't know what I was doing?) Now I'm
in a mess and can't publish individual projects.
