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.
