AFAIK, this problem should affect all users, rather than only VC users,
because it's standard practice to show unregistered files (e.g. `git status`
also shows them).
So, maybe you should ask around the Android Studio crowd how people
usually deal with that.

You don't need to "unignore" them. Just `git add <file>` and you're done.
`.gitignore` only determines whether a unknown file should be mentioned
as "unregistered" or not; it has no effect on files which are under
Git's control.
