I should have asked first. Now I have a new question, so let me ask first,
before I try to resolve it.

'git status' shows I'm up to date except for this:

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        .rate_table.cpp.swp

At first I thought it might be a git file that could contain something
important, as 'rate_table.cpp' was indeed part of the merge I did above;
but 'file' says it's not:

/opt/lmi/src/lmi[0]$file .rate_table.cpp.swp 
.rate_table.cpp.swp: Vim swap file, version 7.3

Would it be a mistake if, in reliance on 'file', I ignore the '.swp' file
as being some vim artifact that has nothing to do with git?
