I agree with Arne, do 'git add -f contrib/keychain-mcd/Makefile' instead. And git will keep track of this file, regardless of .gitignore. I don't recall now if -f was always required or just recent versions needs it. I've double checked the .gitignore behaviour on git 1.8.3.1, which required the -f argument. And everything works as expected in this version. - -- kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlUZIIEACgkQDC186MBRfrrZOQCgoTh3PmYViPxP4NAl2aqQMDBJ tqoAn3vtnvwhN6qX1/bPhDjxjKTPdbgR =qJIy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
