So what happens when an ambulance gets stuck in traffic though?

@Stuxnet People die

@Stuxnet Ambulance is like Chuck Norris, when it's stuck in traffic, traffic moves

I volunteer in my spare time and drive emergency vehicles. It just takes a lot of siren modulation and blaring the horn. We also have loudspeakers to shout instructions at people who do their "deer in headlights" impression and just sit there.

Asking the real questions

Here, when in a traffic jam with 3+ lanes, you're supposed to form an emergency lane in the middle for police/firefighters/ambulances.

But what happens when you ignore gitignore?

So, what does happen if you gitignore gitignore? :P Don't leave us hanging!

@RichardoC There aren't any unexpected interactions, Git just stops tracking the file as usual.

Over here, police follows ambulances usually, making it quite scary to not obey the law which states you must move in that case

It works but it's not something you'd want to use. You can't update the gitignore anymore after doing this if I'm correct. Because it's ignored and thus not tracked.

@PaperBag not necessarily. If the gitignore is checked in then nothing happens
