Subject: Add feature to stop tracking files while keeping them in the index
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2017 04:52:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANb5NdLCFiaUjit10aV8ewaJOe3UxM28+PwY96dHDM_95GRv+w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello everyone,

Currently, a file can be either tracked or untracked. So, I propose we
add a feature to stop tracking files while keeping them in the index.

Example scenario:
- A developer would like to add some configuration files with example
values, e.g. DB_PASSWORD=changeme. But in the future he also want to
update those files and to notify the others with conflicts.

Best regards,

Viet Nguyen
