Thanks.
Two thoughts and a half.
- For people who do not want to read the above, the patch in the
former was not a change to the code, but was a demonstration to
exploit a bug in .git/ignore/exclude handling.
- The latter message above outlined a future direction to properly
handle "ignored" vs "precious" distinction.
- There probably are other "here is a way forward" messages in the
list archive whose visions haven't been materialized. Is anybody
collecting these? I suspect that such a collection would be far
more useful than a typical bug tracker that nobody looks at.
