/drop dumps files that were added when Aider was launched

Issue

According to https://aider.chat/docs/conventions.html

I add the .aider.memory.md file with a description of what libraries are to be used and in which versions

however, this file is removed by the /drop command

it should be possible to add files rigidly, so that /drop doesn't throw them away

Version and model info

Aider v0.40.7-dev Models: openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet with diff edit format, weak model openrouter/anthropic/claude-3-haiku Git repo: .git with 36 files Repo-map: using 2028 tokens Added .aider.memory.md to the chat.

Since Aider codes itself, I think this requirement is quite simple to implement.

For example, setting -permanent before the filename.

So the following call:

aider -permanent .aider.memory.md

Causes /drop to not drop this file.

Aider, can you make a quick fix with this functionality?

The /drop command is currently working as intended. That said, sounds like you want the feature being tracked in #660.
