Ahh. *All* the .gitignore rules are purely about files that git does not already know about. Once git tracks a pathname, the ignore rules simply do not matter. Files that are in the index are simply never ignored. There's no way to ignore them, and in fact, the whole "git add -f" thing is a way to add files to the index and override the exclude rules - at which point git then tracks them regardless of any such exclude rules.
