Remotes and or branches should be ignorable

I've got a few repos with a lot of remotes and branches. I'd like to be able to declare the stuff as "seen" and stop having old stuff show up on the screen.

Not a bad idea! What do you think the best interface for expressing this would be? git config (i.e. "git config branch.staging.gitgoggles_ignore true" or "git config gitgoggles.ignore.staging true"). How do you think it should deal with remote branches to ignore? The same would go for remotes.

Should be a pretty simple feature to implement. I would love your thoughts on how you would like to see it handled.

Thanks!

There's a github gem that does something similar. I think they just have a file in .git with the hashes to be ignored/marked clean/whatever.

Something like that. There's really two different means of that -- I either want to ignore that change or that branch. Both would be good.

For ignoring a branch, I think git config branch.name.gogglesomething would be the best choice, though I'm not entirely sure how git feels about new options showing up in something like that.
