Problem committing new php files to GIT using Sourcetree

Question

I am using Sourcetree Version 2.0.2 (2.0.2) for mac and I am having the following really strange problem.

* I create a new clone from URL
* I then add a new folder in a subfolder of the main project folder
* I add an html file in the subfolder (and sourcetree correctly sees this as a changed file and lets me select it to commit)
* If I add a php file in the same folder Sourcetree does not propose it for commit.

I have no idea why this is happening.

Yup - that was it. I have somehow accumulated a long list in my global .gitignore from sourceforge. I guess when I am asked in one repository to have an ignore file rull this rule becomes global - I was expecting it to only have a local scope.

Do you have a global .gitignore?

I have no .gitignore in this repository … maybe it is picking this up from somewhere else?
