I have recently learned about ``git rm --cached``. Its a very good tool, as it removes a file
from tracking, without removing your local copy of it. However, be warned that if you use ``git
pull`` in another working copy, the file will be removed from there! If you accidentally put the
configuration of a production project, and remove it on your dev machine, it can cause a lot of
trouble ;)
