So you have a couple of identical files in your repo, which are placeholders. That is quite different from what I criticised of being stupid. Well, I would not have checked in the files in your place, but only one: dumb-red-X.png Then, my Makefile would have checked for the existence of, say, my-wonderful-ok-button.png, and if it does not exist yet, copy dumb-red-X.png to it. Now, when somebody comes along, paining the prettiest ok button I ever saw, I copy that over the copy of dumb-red-X.png, and check it in. It has the further bonus that I know exactly which buttons I have to find a suck^Wgifted artist for.
