That's handy sometimes. I wrote a toy patch that did something like that a while ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/108671/focus=108842 I don't think there is any reason such a thing could not be included with git (if it did something more interesting than just echoing its arguments to .gitignore), but nobody has felt strongly enough about it yet to actually write something polished. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
