Hello, Keepiing repo clean with `git clean -dxf' is a very pleasant experience. However, ability to use it ends when one gets untracked but *wanted* files in the repo, like an untracked TODO.

Could a .gitbless file be a solution? I would list in it, e.g.:
TODO
and this way be able to use `git -dxf' again. What do you think?
