See the `NOTES` section of linkgit:gitignore[5] for details. How does this interact with "git clean -x"? Most ignored files will not have trashable attribute, so we don't remove any of them? Making "git clean" completely ignore this attribute is also possible, I guess, if we rename it somehow to avoid confusion. -- Duy
