Couldn't Git be a little more friendly? 

You can choose to ignore an uncommitted file through the `git update-index 
--assume-unchanged` command. But AFAIK, Git doesn't allow one to ignore 
uncommitted _lines_ in tracked files. If this feature were implemented, a 
post commit hook could write in the latest commit hash and git wouldn't care.

Is this something that is worth pursuing?
