I'm 99% sure that both sets of ignores apply.

Click Manage, delete it in your file manager and hit Refresh. It should
show as deleted.

The working tree is dumb right now. It will provide ignore-aware
filtering soon. See the footnote below.

It's just the icon Explorer uses to indicate "Information". Warning and
Error messages get different icons.

You need qbzr 0.14 installed to access that and several other commands.
If you're on Windows, the latest version of qbzr and matching version of
explorer will be bundled together in the (pending) installer for Bazaar
2.0rc2.

# Thanks to Gary, the code is 95% done. It's not used in explorer yet
because I'm semi-paranoid about performance on trees with 50-100K files
and I'm yet to test qbrowse on those.
