git repository ignoring all .dlls

git gitignore

Title says it all. I am trying to add my NuGet packages to the repository. Everything but the .dll files are being detected.

The gitignore file contains no references to *.dll. The .dll files don't get recognized when located anywhere in the entire repository. info/exclude is also empty.

I have also cloned the repository (file-system to file-system as opposed from remote to file-sysytem) with no luck. This issue also happens on two different computers.

I could add the .dll files manually, but they should be tracked. Why are they not being tracked?

Do you have either ~/.gitignore_global or ~/.gitignore in your home directory which could also be listing these file patterns?
