I'm afraid you'll have to reach for the main Git list [1] which is frequented by the Git devs. But while the contents of your question does indicate you possess a reasonably advanced technical level, I'm oblidged to ask: did you consider using "template files" to achieve your goal? I mean, the necessity to have locally-modified files most frequently relates to configuration files and stuff like this, and a sensible approach to deal with this case is to keep templates of such files in the repository (with special filenames, like the ".template" extension added to each) and force the devs to *copy* them and tweak appropriately for their systems. Would it work for your case? 1. https://gist.github.com/tfnico/4441562 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
