yes. Although sometimes when I add a new feature, there are new temporary output files to ignore (most recently, table of contents in LaTeX). But I create new projects fairly often, and 'ignore' is useful then. > The commands `dvc-ignore-file-extensions' and `dvc-ignore-files' are > probably used with similar frequency, so they should be available with > roughly the same number of keystrokes. Yes. `dvc-ignore-file-extensions' is fairly dangerous, because it is project-wide. So I'd put it on M-i. I'd also like to add `dvc-ignore-file-extensions-this-directory', which would ignore *.foo in the current file's directory. That's what .cvsignore does, and it is handy for extensions like .pdf that are automatically generated from Latex and ignored in one directory, but hand-generated from Word in another.

Yes, I noticed that, and added options to suppress those questions.
