Re: Ignore on commit

<git update-index --assume-unchanged>

From the help page:

--assume-unchanged, --no-assume-unchanged
    ...

    This option can be also used as a coarse file-level mechanism to
ignore uncommitted changes in tracked files (akin to what .gitignore
    does for untracked files).

Seems like it does everything required. I tested and it correctly
hides changes that I want hidden. The only thing I can't see how to do
is get git status to show files with the assume unchanged  bit set. I
think there is no way currently, but that might be a nice addition to
make the initial request feature complete. It could show either all
files with the bit set, or files with the bit set that have been
changed (or this could be configurable).

This is indeed the solution outlined in [4] on my original post:

http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/02/18/temporarily-ignoring-files.html

The presence in git status is quite important or else one has to
change the regular workflow with a second status command.
