Well, "-f" means something else (include the ignored files). It is unfortunate, because (I think) your case fits better its traditional meaning... You can try the following patches, which add "--ignore-errors" to git-add. Maybe it will be enough... It is generally considered not safe to ignore errors. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
