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.
