This is by design, and not a problem in practice: ignores are declaring unshared files & folders. If ignores change the state or behavior of the project, it means someone didn’t use ignores correctly, didn’t think through what ignore behavior should be shared and what shouldn’t. Sometimes there are folders everyone will have that should be ignored, like a “build/“ folder, and sometimes there are folders you make yourself inside your repo and don’t want them checked in, like test scripts or output images or whatever. The personally ignored artifacts should be different ignore behavior.
