I seem to remember a thread long ago about whether to include editor droppings in .gitignore, but I can=E2=80=99t find it in the git or lkml archive. git=E2=80=99s .gitignore does not include .*.swp, \#*#, *~, indeed. >> +[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.patch So nack from me as well. It is nice that the .gitignore file we track does not have to change with fashions, and this way each user can set up a personal excludesfile according to choice of tools without interference. Maybe there should be a reasonable "default" .gitexcludes file in gitignore.5 as an example, but that is a different topic[1]. Thanks for the reminder, Jonathan [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/96220/focus=3D= 96289
