I currently have the following files as "untracked" here:

        build-aux/ar-lib
        build-aux/compile
        build-aux/depcomp
        build-aux/missing
        nt/gnulib.mk
        src/stamp-h.in

Shouldn't we add them to the files ignored by git?  Or should these be
deleted?


Also I'm recently often getting things like

 + 917ce99...5aa9a80 scratch/record -> origin/scratch/record  (forced update)

Couldn't we recommend that people don't use forced pushes - even on
scratch branches?
