Hi guys.  
I am new guy on this stuff, and i have problem. Very easy to solve i think.  
I am update my game files by command “git pull”, but i don’t want change lang folder. I think that git changing that, because every time when i update my game i must copy my po files in lang folder, and set everything once more.  
Is there any way to forbid git from update lang folder ?

Not really… You could create a branch with .po files just the way you want and keep merging it with a branch branched from tracking the remote, but that’s just silly…

Why are you doing it?

Play (copy-run) your game in different location… than the place you are compiling it.

sheeh,  
eai

git pull will _not_ overwrite local changes without warning. It must be a different problem from what you assume.
