I am not sure having a gitignore file in the repository is a good
idea, for instance, it will conflict with the gitignore I already
had, because not using the same autotools version as Philippe, my
git status was already filled with tons of autotools files without a
gitignore and before they were removed from the repository. I also
like to add files to gitignore like *~ my editor creates, and so if
my gitignore has local modifications, I will see it in the git
status too.
