@DavidGOrtega The issue here is `--no-exec`. It only creates the dvc-file but doesn't act on it, hence why `models` is not added to `.gitignore` until you actually run it. Could you explain why you need it/why it matters?
@efiop This issue is actually a bit misleading since the issue is not only the inclusion in gitignore but also is not tracked by DVC until you run repro. It matters specially in CI/CD space. 
The workflow is this:
 - setup a dvc pipeline without running repro locally
 - push to repo
 - CI pull and run repro

When CI does dvc pull errors appears (having to use -force) missing caches or models not tracked.
```
ERROR: failed to pull data from the cloud - Checkout failed for following targets:
  models
 Did you forget to fetch?
```
I'm actually reviewing this. I will come back with more info to update this.
@DavidGOrtega thank you for reporting this! Was you able to find any workaround?

It seems like a valid use case which is not fully supported by DVC.

@efiop is there any specific reason not to create outputs with `--no-exec`?
If we need to support this scenario, what would be your suggestion: create outputs or introduce a new option?
@dmpetrov We could totally do that automatically, I'm just trying to undersatnd the reasons behind it and if we really need it. So far the use case is valid, so I think we could proceed with implementing it.

dvc run does not include folder in .gitignore
I have a project that has been working properly. It's fundamentally based on pipeline.
Before when I created the pipeline the models folder was added to .gitignore, however now I can't make it ignore the models folder. Here is the pipeline:

```
dvc add data

dvc run --no-exec \
    -f train.dvc \
    -d code/train.py \
    -d data/train \
    -o models \
    -M metrics/train.json \
    python code/train.py

dvc run --no-exec \
    -f eval.dvc \
    -d code/eval.py \
    -d data/test \
    -d models \
    -M metrics/eval.json \
    python code/eval.py
```

now .gitignore contains:
```
/data
```
however I expect /models to be there as it was (as specified by -o)

**Please provide information about your setup**
dvc 0.87.0
Python 3.6.9
ubuntu 10.04
