title: GitHub Desktop is committing ignored files
body: <p>My GitHub Desktop app is trying to commit a bunch of files that are (supposedly) ignored.</p>

  <p>As you can see, the entire <code>.metadata</code> folder is listed in my top-level .gitignore file. Still, there are loads of files from that folder that are being committed each time. Am I missing something about where the file needs to be placed?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I should add, please do not just tell me to use the command line.</p>
