Subject: Git - Pushing to a production website
Message-ID: <20090109222344.3539138a@family.dyweni.com>

Hi,

Our company's website is stored in a GIT Repository.

The repository is coded for our test server.  When we push updates to
the production server, have manually run a script to patch several
files to make the code work on the production server (i.e. port
numbers, etc).

I'd like to write a script to email me whenever someone changes files
on the production server without checking those changes back into git
(i.e. running 'git status | grep "nothing to commit" ...').

However, this approach get confused by the files patched to work
correctly.

Is there any way to 'save' those patched files so they don't get
reported by 'git status', yet not mung up the git history every time
we push out an update?

Thanks!
