I think that's a very good summary of the current situation.

However, I would like to point out that, at least according to the current 
discussion, you are the only person who opposes .gitignore files.  Everyone else 
wants this patch applied.  So it's not really just me who is inconvenienced by 
the status quo - it's everyone but you who is inconvenienced.

I think I have already come up with arguments to use .gitignore files, and these 
are just the normal reasons for using .gitignore files.  I don't have anything 
else to add to this discussion.
