Hi,
I add all the files to git before I learned the .gitignore file. Then
I remove those unwanted files from the index. But those files still
appear in git ls-files. This is really annoying. Is there any want to
prevent those ignored files from git ls-files?

If they are appearing in "git ls-files", then you didn't actually remove
them from the index. Can you show us exactly which commands you ran,
what output they produced, and how it differs from what you expected?

Thanks for replying.
My command was not correct. And I solved my problem with the help from
someone else.
But my problem is only solved on Linux. On my winodws machine, I have
added a lot of unwanted file to my git repo, before creating
.gitignore file. I ran 'git rm --cached myfile' to remove it from the
index. But they still exist in 'git ls-files', because they exist in
the history. On Linux, I can use 'git filter-branch' to remove them
from history. But, on windows,

I think filter-branch runs under cygwin (I think it might even run on
msysgit, but just hasn't been included in a shipped version yet). You
can also filter-branch on Linux and then fetch or clone the result to
Windows.
