Yeah ... I was going to post a little update this morning, because I
somehow managed to make those files disappear from the vc-dir buffer.
I just didn't know how I managed to do it.

And now I don't even know how to reproduce the bug.

For me the ideal way for it to have worked would have been if editing
.gitignore and then typing "g" in vc-dir made the files disappear.
If showing them in "ignored" state is somehow necessary, then have "x"
also make them disappear.

If this were how it worked then I would be sure I could get the effect I
wanted next time around :)
