Egit error when saving file

Since i have upgraded to eclipse mars (4.5) egit is throwing regex PatternSyntaxException exceptions on every file save, on every project build/clean and on some other occasions. Afterwards, the files don't appear in the unstaged changes list, basically rendering egit useless for this project.

This is the error log entry:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2015-07-01 10:27:42.183
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Computing Git status for repository I-Sail".

The problem seems to occur only on android projects. Other java projects, as well as symfony/php websites work fine. It occurs independent of whether i create a new git repository for the project, or use my old one that used to work fine before the update. I tried reinstalling the egit plugin, without result. When i use git in command line on the same repository, everything is fine.

From the error message i would say that somewhere a file is saved in rtf format that egit expects to be in plain txt. However, i have no idea which file this could be or how to find it.

Just from looking at the stack trace, it seems likely the problem is in a .gitignore file somewhere; that's supposed to contain regexps, and { is regexp repetition syntax.

That might be in the repository, or more likely in some place egit finds it and plain git doesn't, e.g. whatever your systems interpretation of $HOME is.

See: https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/#create-a-global-gitignore
