I’ve found that some usual stuff Subversion would ignore in projects Git doesn’t. The Git exclude file doesn’t work here since these are files being tracked in the working tree that are just specific to your instance. After digging around, I found the proper command to ignore these files:

# ignore changes in a working tree file
git update-index --assume-unchanged .classpath
