The merge driver seemingly ignoring the changes to certain files while
still committing? No, doesn't work that way. The merge driver never commits.
Unless you mean that, in case of conflicts on merging that file, that
the merge driver should be disregarding the conflicts and choose one
version over another... Not sure to see how that would work.
Remember that the merge driver is only called by git merge. Nothing else.
Adding a description file would enter it into the git and make it
tracked as are all other files. And adding a file is really not a big deal.
