[git] Git Ignores and Maven targets

The .gitignore file in the root directory does apply to all subdirectories. Mine looks like this:

.classpath
.project
.settings/
target/

This is in a multi-module maven project. All the submodules are imported as individual eclipse projects using m2eclipse. I have no further .gitignore files. Indeed, if you look in the gitignore man page:

Patterns read from a .gitignore file in the same directory as the path, or in any parent directory…

So this should work for you.
