No problem.

FYI, firstly, Bazaar will *not* commit the "unknown" files. It's just saying
that as a way of saying "are you sure you don't want to commit these files,
because they are here and not ignored!?"

Secondly, yes .bzrignore is a list of files you want to make sure will never
be *added* (it doesn't stop you from committing them, or forcibly adding
them -- it just stops you from accidentally adding them with generic "bzr
add" and stops them from appearing in bzr status and the commit log). But
.bzrignore is itself committed. We all share the same list of files we don't
want added -- things like build.properties and the .class file directories.
You can add to this list, but only if it is something we are all likely to
not want committed.
