I agree that in such a workflow to keep untracked tests around, they
should not be considered trashable. But more importantly, as I have
already said, adding your untracked tests to exclude is a wrong thing to
do.
Traditionally (think "git status" output without "-s") the way to remind
oneself that some day these paths need to be added when they are ready has
been to keep them untracked but _not_ ignored, so that they will be listed
in the output.
Quite contrary to what you earlier said in another message, adding
such a path that is not trashable does defeat the point of the "ignore"
mechanism.
