From: Michael J Gruber Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2014 11:13:00 GMT Subject: [PATCH] gitignore.txt: do not suggest assume-unchanged Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <5486B342.8090800@drmicha.warpmail.net> git-update-index --assume-unchanged was never meant to ignore changes to tracked files (only to spare some stats). So do not suggest it as a means to achieve that.
