What is --assume-unchanged?

Question

I don't mean what is it or how do you use it. I mean, rather literally, what have I marked as --assume-unchanged? Is there any way to find out what I've tucked away using that option? I've dug through the .git/ directory and don't see anything that looks like what I'd expect, but it must be somewhere. I've forgotten what I marked this way a few weeks ago and now I need to document those details for future developers.

Thanks.

You can use git ls-files -v. If the character printed is lower-case, the file is marked assume-unchanged.
