... which means I'd have to open the log, find where it
was added, and commit the (merged) code. I would still
have to delete the local copy myself (optionally) and
the file is still not ignored... So, if I wanted to
reverse an accidental Add (perhaps from many moons ago)
then what you suggest is definitely the wrong tree.
AFAICT, "Delete and add to ignore list" is a sequence of
"Delete (keep local)", and "Add to ignore list <without
forcing me to commit first>". I Don't know what it's
ACTUALLY supposed to do; it doesn't look to be documented.

Nope. Just commenting on the discussion; I didn't start
the thread.
