It's what we currently do at work. The secret files are in a KeePass database. It's cumbersome to deal with, especially when you want to checkout a fresh version of a project. Even with a script that copies the files to the projects that should contain them.

Ofcourse this has to do with KeePass as our solution for storing the .gitignored files.

I'm glad the author made the effort of listing some alternatives ways to protect files, and others responded with even more ways to do it. Because at some point I'll be fed up with that KeepAss database and this article is where I'll refer back to :)
