Re: [PATCH 2/5] l10n: de.po: translate "track" as "folgen"

How about "beobachten" (for the English readers, roughly "observe") or
"beachten" ("pay attention to") for this meaning of tracking?  The
latter even forms a nice group with "unbeachtet" and "ignoriert".

[...]

I personally prefer "beobachten" for tracked files/contents and, as you
said, "folgen" in the remote-tracking sense. But I wouldn't use
"ignoriert" because it has another meaning in git.

But that fits right in, doesn't it?  Files can be tracked, untracked, or
untracked-and-ignored.

Or am I missing something?

No, you don't.
In order to distinguish between untracked and untracked-and-ignored
I would use "ignoriert" only when files are ignored by a .gitignore file,
not when they are just untracked.
