Yes, remove-stale-files is suboptimal, but not adding entries there doesn't make anything better. And yes, entries in remove-stale-files should have a life-time of years rather than months; and removing entries from .gitignore before the remove-stale-files cleanup should be prevented. Therefore I chose to add the comment to usr/.gitignore to prevent accidental removal of the '/gen_init_cpio' before the time has come. Does that match for you? Kind regards, Nicolas
