how about also adding the reverse: when a file is ignored then add
it to
the .gitignore file for 'un-ignoring' (the '!' pattern)
I'm not convinced each and everything should have a menu entry.
Advanced
use of .gitignore should have a .gitignore editor. When we have that
the
option could perhaps launch the editor automatically if it
recognized no-trivial ignore rules. For trivial cases it would just
append to the file.
I don't know of any other SCM that allows you to un-ignore files in
the way that Git does; my guess is that most people wouldn't miss it
if it weren't there. A .gitignore customised editor is probably
overkill too - after all, you can just open it up in a text editor and
make changes yourself. I've amended a few .cvsignore files in my time
manually, but I wouldn't want to overcomplicate the menu for that.
