Re: .gitignore behavior on Mac

Great, I have gotten the concept now :)

My workaround for my problem is to rename the file to ....default and
then all will work out well :) Copy the file then and locally modify
it, but it will be in .gitignore so not tracked :)

But I just don't want to see that darn file. It is a config file that
I have changed, and I don't want to need to stash it for each "git
svn" action I want to perform... Any solution for that?

Read about --assume-unchanged in git-update-index(1).

Beware!! --assume-unchanged is a promise not to modify a file, but that
is not true in this case, because it *was* modified. It might hide the
file from the git-status output, but then git might do something
unexpected sometimes, because a promise was not kept.
