At last, I'll be able to write

$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard >> .gitignore
$ $EDITOR .gitignore

I think this is a good cookbook material to put somewhere in the
docs.

Here it is:

== How to ignore files which are "Untracked" now? ==

{{{
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard >> .gitignore
$ $EDITOR .gitignore
}}}

(note : `--exclude-standard` is not yet in a released version of git
as of november 2007, you'll have to use `--exclude-from=.gitignore
--exclude-from=.git/info/exclude ...` if you don't have it).
