Hi Geoff,

you had made your point so I didn't reply.

However today I learned that even in presence of a .gitignore file it
is possible to spot the issues you are referring to by using:

  git status --ignored

This is just for the records, I am not pushing to include the .gitignore
file :)

Ciao ciao,
   Antonio
