I tried it with the current leading edge git, and it says this:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
input/+.ly
Use -f if you really want to add them.
Since you do not have that version, "-f" does not work for you. If you
really want to include the file in spite of .gitignore saying
something different, try
$ git-update-index --add +.ly
This is supposed to be really hard-core git, and should become unnecessary
with Git 1.5.0.
