Why do I need to eliminate config.local to checkout

Questions
1

I did some dvc add and then some dvc commit before setting up my remote

Setting up this remote created a config.local file.

however now when I do git checkout to a previous commit and try dvc checkout I get

dvc checkout -v

I actually found out the reason in a reply I got to a previous question here so I removed the config.local and now I can dvc checkout

But that gives the question: config.local can not be git managed so it wont dissapear if I git checkout to a previous commit. Do I have to manually erase it for dvc checkout to function. that seems kind of impractical…
