Hi, In a (special ?) situation, I've lost a local (and git ignored) file silently, and I've failed to get it back. Context: - in previous version of my project, the TODO file was versioned - in current development version, this file is NO more versioned AND it is ignored by a gitignore rule, but still at the same place for better ease of access -> such a way, this file has been locally updated several times - during worflow process, I've finally performed a checkout on a previous version (in which the TODO file was versioned) -> after that the file has been silently updated with the old version - after modification, I've performed back a checkout on the current version and this time my TODO file has been fully and silently removed Questions: - is it a behavior regarded as normal ? - is there any way to get back the TODO file, in LOCAL version it was before the first checkout ? - in any case, is there any way to be warned (and to make the checkout fail) of such situation (local ignored file being overwritten with 'older' not-ignored version) ?
