Hello everyone, I'm trying to manage and distribute a subset of /etc with git. Therefore, I have * in .gitignore and use git add -f to add files. Now sometimes I want to un-track a file that has been in previous commits, but naturally I don't want the file deleted. I just want git to ignore it again. As I read it, the way to do that is "git rm --cached $file". On the local working tree, that works as expected, but when some remote machine pulls a subsequent commit, it deletes the file from its working tree. But I just want git to ignore the file again, just as it does in the origin repo. How can I do that? thanks for your time -- 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
