#git nerds:
I want to store a file with metadata about the files I'm working on, BUT I want it to be invisible.

I'm thinking of using a post-commit hook that stores/updates/whatever this metadata file in a different - specially named - branch behind the scenes (without affecting the working directory).

BUT Something's telling me there's a better solution that I've forgotten. This feels clunky.

Any ideas?
