eclipse git ignore bug workaround
if you want eclipse to use git ignores setup a global git ignore file
$ vi ~/.gitignore or vi ~/.config/git/ignore
.buildpath
.project
.settings
$ git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'
$ git config --global --list
$ git config --get-all core.excludesfile
$ git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.config/git/ignore'
$ git config --global --list
$ git config --get-all core.excludesfile
