FWIW, I am reasonably sure that I was the first in Git circle who
used the term "precious" in discussions wrt .gitignore, i.e. "Git
has ignored but not precious category". Since it was not my
invention but was a borrowed term from tla (aka GNU arch), I'd
suggest to keep using that term, unless there is a strong reason not
to follow longstanding precedent.
