Plugin 'mobi.hsz.idea.gitignore' failed to initialize and will be disabled. Please restart PhpStorm.

Not sure why, we did installed hsz/idea-gitignore plugin at a new desktop PC. Java last release is also installed. Attached some System Infos:

Same for my Android Studio with 1.7.5 from the repo. I downloaded manually the 1.7.4 and installed from disk and no issue here. It asks me to update, but i ignore it.
