I am very new to git. I have a .gitignore in the my working folder.

*.jpg
*.gif
*.png
system/*
*/Zend/*
.idea/*.*

Well, I did git init and then git add *. At this it worked fine and ignored the above files. But when I did some changes, ran the same command it puts the ignored files into staging area. The reason why I am using git add * is because I work on many files and adding each file would be a overkill.

Update: Here are messages when I run git add * second time..

#new file:   application/vendors/Zend/XmlRpc/Value/String.php
#new file:   application/vendors/Zend/XmlRpc/Value/Struct.php
...

The list is too long.
