And that is exactly the concept I'm handling here: files that should not be tracked BUT that are not expendable. You explained it concisely and perfectly :))) I'll wait until that is implemented, and in the meantime I have a couple solutions I want to try, like using .gitprecious files and 'git ls-files --other --ignored --exclude-from=.gitprecious'. I have more ideas. Thanks a lot for the help and the explanation! -- Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado .
