Hello Angus,
I think it is better to add .gitignore file in each subdirectory. So if
a subdirectory comes to be changed, you don't have to modify the
.gitignore file in the root directory, and this avoids having a long
list of ignored files in .gitignore.
Other wise, yes, .gitignore files is a good idea.

Cheers,
