So it's more like git commit src/stupid/long/path/name/with/a/dozen/components/HugeClass.java Anyway, it's not that I can't work with git right now, but things would feel infinitely better if I could issue a 'git status' and see only the files that I'm actually interested in. > Otherwise, use .git/info/exclude (or some such, the exact name eludes me) to > mark the IDE-modified files.

Unfortunately, git-status won't ignore files already added to the repository, even if they match something in .git/info/exclude -- that's the very source of my problem. > Out of curiousity; Why does the IDE change those files if they're part of the > project?

It's and old version IBM WebSphere, that insist on reordering classpath entries, modifying server configurations, and things like that. Unfortunately, it's a company mandated tool, and even if it wasn't, the project is already so irremediably tied to WebSphere specific features that I wouldn't be able to use anything else. I'm a small fish, trying to swim against the stream. I'm trying to use git to improve my personal productivity, but I can't force anything "upstream", so modifying the svn repository to remove these problematic files is out of question.
