I am using git for a very long time with TextMate and Ruby on Rails, now I am working with Eclipse and Android and I have a stupid problem (or I am stupid...). Can anybody help me? I have directories which I do not want to track in git (like gen/* an bin/*). They can be ignored by adding them to the .gitignore - works well. But when I clone the project Eclipse shouts about the missing directories. So I tried the following: added a .ignoreme file to "bin" and "gen", ignored everything else. Works fine, now the directory and the two .ignoreme files are added, but Eclipse does not like to have any file in the bin directory (can't build until I remove it). So it there no way to manage bin folders of any kind in git when working with IDEs? Thank you very much in advance! Regards, Anton
