Hello. In the Git repository, we have a .dir-locals.el tracked file. According to the Emacs manual, a .dir-locals-2.el file can be used for personal customizations, and it is useful when .dir-locals.el is under VC. So, the .dir-locals-2.el file shouldn't be tracked. But if I do the following in the Emacs Git repository: $ touch .dir-locals-2.el $ git status I can see that .dir-locals-2.el is not ignored. Best regards, Mauro.
