Quick git question, perhaps someone knows the answer: I have a file in my git tree (locally and in the repository), but I want git to ignore the file completely, i.e. git is not to touch the file on the filesystem by updating it or merging local changes into the repostiroy |

whoppix: you can use .gitignore |
| rindolf |
I think |
| whoppix |
rindolf, hmm, good idea, thanks. |
| whoppix |
that was slow. |
| whoppix |
rindolf, hm, I think git update-index --assume-unchanged is what I need. |
| whoppix |
.gitignore is only for untracked files |
| rindolf |
whoppix: OK, have no clue what that is. |
| rindolf |
Git is so complicated. |
| rindolf |
And so opaque |
| whoppix |
rindolf, me neither, but the doc tells me to use that. |
| rindolf |
whoppix: can you believe the docs? |
| rindolf |
The docs may be lying. |
| rindolf |
Don't trust the docs. |
| rindolf |
Don't trust anything. |
| rindolf |
You're all alone. |
| rindolf |
It's you against the machine. |
| rindolf |
When in doubt, use the source code. |
| rindolf |
Not some sissy documentation. |
| whoppix |
right |
| whoppix |
I'll have some of what you've been smoking |
| rindolf |
whoppix: I'm 100% clean. |
