I still do not see what problem you need a "solution" for in the first place---I saw a few comments asking it in the thread, but saw no answer. ppc/sha1ppc.S is already tracked, so any modification you make in the working tree can be added to the index with "git add" and "git status" would report when you have modification to that file in the working tree, without any such extra entry in .gitignore, no?
