Yes, you have a point about the origin of the script generating the
tags. One thing is that one can still add a file even if listed in
what to ignore, as long as it is done with git-add -f. Okay, that's

(FWIW, looking at my stuff, I have just set up that globally in 2018
after seeing the other thread.)
