With Subversion, you can have unversioned files inside of a versioned
directory.  When updating to the latest files in the repository, the
unversioned files were untouched.  I would hope this would be the same
with git.  Otherwise, this whole idea of keeping my ~/.vim updated to
the vim-latex/vimfiles is a moot point.
