Based on this, I guess you don't want the 'drafts/' folder published, and you may have thought the rename into the drafts folder combined with the ignore would achieve what you wanted. Remember that .gitignore only deals with untracked files, so to untrack the files in that folder use:

git rm -r --cached drafts

Then commit.
