git-add ignores .gitignore

I just ran "git add ." and got a very surprising result. Test case:

$ mkdir tmp
$ git init-db
$ mkdir a
$ touch a/b c
$ cat > .gitignore << EOF
a
EOF
$ git status
# On branch refs/heads/master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit)
#
#       .gitignore
#       c
nothing to commit (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit)
$ git add .
$ git status
# On branch refs/heads/master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Added but not yet committed:
#   (will commit)
#
#       new file: .gitignore
#       new file: a/b
#       new file: c
#
$ git --version
git version 1.5.0.rc0.g04509

Huh? I'm deep into my own code so can't diagnose it myself right now, but thought maybe someone on list could. I really hope that's not the expected behavior. Same thing happens with "git add *"
