When i run «git status» on a cloned git repo with build files around i get

$ git status # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # git-help--browse nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

So i think something like this is needed

Thanks for your time.

Well, git-help--browse is not used any more. It has been replaced by git-web--browse. (In fact git-help--browse.sh was renamed git-web--browse.sh see: http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=history;f=git-web--browse.sh)

So you can safely delete it.

Thanks, Christian.
