Like this, right?
$ git init a
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/a/.git/
$ cd a
$ echo ignore for now >file
$ echo file >.gitignore
$ git add .gitignore
$ git commit -m initial
[master (root-commit) 2df5d68] initial
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 .gitignore
$ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean

This seems to work as expected for me (continued from above):
$ >.gitignore
$ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: .gitignore
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
file
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
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?
