Subject: Is it possible to have a file shared between branches?

Hello,

Is it possible for git to track a single file that would be shared accross 
branches?  Case in point: a to-do list file that describes what has to be 
done in all the branches; it can be convenient to put all the things that 
have to be done in a single, shared file, while keeping this to-do list in 
sync with the code (so that it lists what has been done, and what remains to 
be done).  Committing in a branch would in effect also commit the shared file 
in the other branches (another possibility may be to have in effect many 
"trees" in a single git directory, with a specific tree for the to-do list).

Is this something git can do?
