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. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
