That curious, but git allow to unconditionally delete files on other developer
host when he do `git pull`
How to reproduce:
1. File should be ignored:
echo "somefile" >> .gitignore
2. Add this ignored file into repository
git add -f somefile
3. Push changes to origin
git push
4. When other developer has also 'somefile' on his host and when he does
git pull
Content of hist local `somefile` file will be replaced by content pushed by
first developer
This happens *only* if the other developers also have somefile mentioned
in their .gitignore.
EXPECTED: git should warn about that content will be replaced and do not
pull/checkout until we force pull/checkout
If somefile is *not* mentioned in their .gitignore, the file is not
removed and there is a warning.
Know that Git regards everything mentioned in .gitignore as dispensible;
IOW, by mentioning a file in .gitignore you actually give permission to
remove the file if necessary. Git does not have a feature to say "ignore
this file, but it is precious".
