Subject: Feature Request: existence-only tracking
Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 12:01:43 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADo3Y7QDuDLScdzcsS60d0fwQBT+=Va1s+v3OsSw5CBcEDbUFw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In my work, we have a lot of autogenerated files that need to exist so
a script will replace their contents, but tracking the contents
creates a lot of unnecessary conflicts. I would love to see an option
for a different tracking method that just makes sure a file or
directory exists. This would also obviate the need for adding things
like .empty files in a directory to force the directory to exist.
