I have a C/C++ perspective open right now. Navigator is on the left,
editor in the middle, outline on the right. In the navigator there are
several files that should be ignored. I'd like to right click on them
and select team/ignore. When I do that they will be ignored in git and
also disappear from my navigator.

That would be Team->Add to .gitignore, as Eclipse does not have a way to
add files to the global ignore from context menus, but I agree, we
should have something like that eventually.

If we were to also remove ignored files from the views we would have to
either add a View Filter for .git-ignored files, or for globally ignored
files. Good idea for enhancement, please report in the issue tracker:

I also don't like how I have a global .git for all of my projects
instead of a .git for each project individually. (Did I select that
when I first installed egit and didn't know what I was doing?) Now I'm
in a mess and can't publish individual projects.

That's a result of choosing "Create repository in project's parent
directory" when you shared the project in Eclipse.

Perhaps we should try to detect if the project is a Java (/JDT) project,
or otherwise likely to be a "child"-project, where it makes sense to
have the repository in the parent directory?

My .git got created in my workspace root. Is there ever a case where
you would want .git in your workspace root? If not, remove this choice
when the parent directory is the workspace root.
