I could also argue that I want everything to be explicit, even the
status of ignored files :-)

If you look at (for example) TortoiseSVN then you'll see that it does
provide an ignore icon. My icon was sort of 'inspired' by that one.
Don't know if it's on by default though, will have to check that.

not my preference (hey I wrote the patch) but reasonable.

I've started work on that, see the issue on the issue tracker. The plan
is to hook in on change events and then parse all gitignore files, and
tell eclipse about the contents of the ignores.
