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.
