I am fairly sure you can simply edit the .gitignore file, delete the line which is excluding the file, save the .gitignore file, then do a "git add ????" (replace ???? with the real file name) followed by a "git commit" to start tracking the previously ignored file. Of course, there is no way to get any previous versions from git.
Now, if the file you want to start tracking is due to a "generic" entry, and you want to continue not tracking the other files which are excluded by the generic, then you can specifically list the name of the file to be tracked in the same .gitignore file, but prefix it with an exclamation mark, !. As an example. Suppose you don't want to track files with the extension .pdf, except that you do want to track special.pdf . The .gitignore would have lines like: *.pdf !special.pdf This would ignore all .pdf files, except for special.pdf. I hope this is of some help.
