Someone cheerfully directed me to git rm, as equivalent to svn rm. I don't need the actual file to go away. (I, uh, mumble, checked in too much when starting out, and now git commit is slooow.) How do I tell git to forget about a file, but leave on my hard drive? -- Phlip (BTW, the 1980s called - they want their mailing list software back!;)
