In my work, we have a lot of autogenerated files that need to exist so a script will replace their contents, but tracking the contents creates a lot of unnecessary conflicts. I would love to see an option for a different tracking method that just makes sure a file or directory exists. This would also obviate the need for adding things like .empty files in a directory to force the directory to exist. -- 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
