Generally, if you want to track a single file in a directory you just
add that file, as per Matthias' suggestion, and possibly create a
.gitignore with the single '*' pattern in it..

However, if you want to track more than one _independent_ files in the
same directory (RCS-style), then I would recommend you look into zit,
the Git-based single-file content tracker I've developed. You can find
it at git://git.oblomov.eu/zit ( gitweb at http://git.oblomov.eu/zit )
