This seems such a simple requirement I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be a visible way of doing it.
I have a repository which contains files in a folder tree, with some files that are excluded (EXE's, DLL's etc.) in a global gitignore file.
I have a couple of files (DLL's) that I want to include in the repo, just so I have a record of what DLLs were part of the project at a certain time, as the DLL's might get updated.
So I want to add a file, such that it isn't excluded by the global gitignores, and is tracked from then on.
How do I do this, either from GitEx or from a (Windows) command line?
