I had the same problem a few months ago. Here's what I learned.
The exclude pattern may not contain directories, just files, such as
*.obj, *.exe, and so on. Also, there is no semicolon in the exclude
pattern, use spaces as separators. You should modify yours to this:
thumbs.db *.exe *.dll *.obj *.ncb *.lib *.idb *.pdb *.ilk *.msi *.res
*.pch *.suo *.aps *.*~ *.~* ~*.*
If you want to exlude additional files or entire directories, you must
manually add them to the ignore list. Once you add something to the
ignore list, the fact that it's on the ignore list is versioned as well.
So if your colleagues check out or update the repository, they will have
the same ignore list as you do. You just have to go over your "debug"
and "release" directories and add them to the ignore list, then commit
the repository.
