Re: git-status and git-diff now very slow in project with a submodule

Speaking of .gitignore and untracked files. Explicitly mentioning all
such untracked files in .gitignore is often unpractical. For example,
during build process some large projects autogenerate many temporary
*.c  *.h *.cpp files. Hunting all of them down and adding to
.gitignore is a waste of time and one cannot use globs *.c *.h for
obvious reasons.

You can actually, since tracked files are never ignored.
