Visual Studio Team Explorer - GIT: Automatically ignoring new files

Eureka!!. My project name was matching the pattern *.sap on the .gitignore file, so all new files on that project would automatically be ignored. I removed the *.sap pattern from the .gitignore file and now everything works as expected.

It happens form time to time. Just close and reopen Visual Studio.

Because of this inconsistency (I think it's a bug) I also look for untracked files in another "visual" git app (SourceTree) to make sure that nothing is left behind inside some directory.
