As a day-to-day hard git user ;), I also have to manage files with different licenses I need to track. As git handles all those files in a very smart way, I wondered whether git could also handle that information, at least somehow. That would greatly make my day, and I do think several other people could have the same need, too. Do you think this might be relevant? Best regards, Yohann
