I have set my .gitignore to ignore both .sdf files and .vcxproj but they still keep appearing at Git Extensions for me to commit them.
Specifically the *.sdf are causing tons of conflicts as it keeps being updated by vs10, and it prevents me from pulling to my other workstation. Uploading 32mb each time is just not possible.
Here is my .gitignore file:
## Ignore Visual Studio temporary files, build results, and
## files generated by popular Visual Studio add-ons.

I am sorry if this question was already posted elsewhere, but I searched for a while and couldn't find a suitable answer.
