// problem
SourceTree does not behave as Git when adding and committing a folder with ignored parts

// given
User has a global Git ignore file with the pattern "xcuserdata"

// when
User add an Xcode project file like MyApp.xcodeproj/
User commit changes

// expected
Normal commit, with no warnings/errors

// current result
SourceTree prevents the commit because the global ignore file matches one of the contents of the added folder

// rationale
Git does not prevent a commit in this case. A behavior similar to the managed tool provides a better UX.

This user story should be common. Normally a developer does not want to commit his/her breakpoints to the repository

// workaround
It is possible to overwrite a global ignored pattern to allow commits. However this will also commit undesired data to the repository 

// solutions

1. A warning dialog with options to continue OR cancel
2. Successful commit with no dialog. Optionally a log message with a warning

Use as template. This is an issue I created for SourceTree
