Yep, well-known issue that I've mentioned multiple times. Somewhat related to the "precious" concept that has come up on the list a few times. See e.g. * the "merge backends" section of https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1627.git.1703643931314.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ * C2-C7 of https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BEg6vxiUp * affects cherry-pick too, with discussion of how merge is affected: https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BG=pm8gfRZNW8Rk1V77s40Do1FZy0mxH6epubHbzF8U5w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ * merge and other shortcomings mentioned when fixing up default handling of ignored files: https://lore.kernel.org/git/b7fe354effff8da3de53bd9cc40a03b5fd455f67.1632760428.git.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ * wider discussion of correctly removing or keeping files (also discussing merge), in a series fixing lots of bugs in the area: https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1036.v3.git.1632760428.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/
