title: Howto prevent git from pushing changes to some files
body: <p>I've cloned a subversion repository using git svn. The source has some config files that i have to edit to fit my system. I would like to store my changes to those files in my local repo (to easily switch between branches without worrying about locally modified files) but i would like to prevent those changes to be pushed to the remote repository. </p>
  
  <p>Can anybody help me?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
