I do not think the file is ever used. I for one would love to see it go, seeing as I live in the ghetto that = =20 is HFS+ and am constantly annoyed by it cluttering up my status output = =20 with spurious content. I understand that the reason it lives in the tree is precisely to =20 discover problems with such filesystems, but the problem is well and =20 truly discovered by now and I'd much rather see this kind of thing =20 tested from within the test suite rather than every time I do "git =20 status" or "git checkout".
