It's not that you *REALLY* need it, but it's nice if you're using git as
the git status output isn't cluttered.

I don't think it bothers people, so I would prefer to keep it in the
tarball (we would need to do special handling to remove it). Other
git-using projects like the Linux kernel also ships their .gitignore.
