So "file" is no longer ignored.  Committing the .gitignore change
doesn't change that:

  $ git add .gitignore
  $ git commit -m 2nd
  [master d4c95a1] 2nd
   1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
  $ git status
  On branch master
  Untracked files:
    (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
  	file

  nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Which steps did you take to arrive at a different result?

Perhaps also:

  git check-ignore -v file

would be helpful for seeing why Git thinks it might be ignored (e.g.,
another wildcard rule that happens to match it).
