What you observed is expected with all the versions of Git since the
gitignore mechanism was introduced. The ignored files are "not tracked,
are cruft that can be removed to make room if it is necessary for checking
out a tracked version, and would not want to track (e.g. build artifacts
like '*.o')" (I am not saying that it is the most sane semantics, I am
just stating the fact).
We do not have "not tracked, but precious (e.g. your TODO)" category; from
time to time we have discussed possibilities of adding such to enrich the
categorization, but nobody stepped up to actually do the work of designing
let alone coding such a beast.
