Ok I found it. Regular subdirectories it works as you said,
but soft-link to a folder does not. Sorry for the noise i didn't
realize that in my test it was a simlink and not a full directory.
Please don't fix it if it will hurt performance, I'm happy with
current solution as it is. Just maybe a small addition to the
.gitignore documentation perhaps.
