Gitignore not ignoring server side created dirs


Hi,

I've got a Web app on a server, that may dynamically create some directories inside "/public/sites/medias" from the inside of the app.
I've got no problem so far to tell Git to ignore everything _actually_ in "public/sites/medias", but the problem is when users begin to create new dirs and add files like these :

/public/sites/medias
---------------------/images
---------------------------/4
-----------------------------/my_pic.jpg

I can't understand why the hell does Git always want to track them and then say "/public/sites/medias/images/4/my_pic.jpg needs update" when I pull a new version of the app.

Here is my actual .gitignore :

public/sites/
config/**
!config/routes.rb
db/*.sql*
log/*.log
tmp/*
*.swp

How can I tell Git to _never_ever_ look inside "/public/sites" no more and totally forget about what could ever happen inside this directory ?

Any help highly appreciated, thanks

¿when you clone your repo, this directory is created?
