Case closed? I thought you were suggesting an enhancement to the
manual page, to answer the following question (frequently asked or
not):
If git is already tracking a file, how can I tell git
it is not supposed to be tracked any more?
And perhaps a bonus question:
What will happen when I switch between revisions in
which the file is tracked and not tracked?
I think at least an EXAMPLES section explaining this would be would
be nice.
