Global ignores from ~/.gitignore not merged with project .gitignore (e.g. .DS_Store)

trkoch commented 8 years ago

Global ignores from ~/.gitignore (referenced in ~/.gitconfig) are not merged with .gitignore of the project. Works for the git CLI, i.e. untracked files (which should be ignored) do not show up in command line.

In my case the file in question is '.DS_Store'. Since this file is hidden by default in Atom, this results in "invisible" added files (containing folder are green, but no file can be found).

Atom version: 1.3.3 OS and version: 10.11.2 Git version (CLI): 2.4.5

Additional information:

Problem started happening recently, didn't happen in an older version of Atom: Yes
Problem can be reliably reproduced, doesn't happen randomly: Yes
Problem happens with all files and projects, not only some files or projects: Yes

The same problem (question).

We'd probably get this behavior for free if we stopped computing diffs using libgit2 and started using the git executable instead, like the github package does.
