[PATCH v2] btrfs-progs: gitignore: Ignore hidden files

[Qu Wenruo]

A lot of editor/IDE related config files are dotfiles, like .vimrc
or .clang_complete.

Instead of adding gitignore entry for each editor/IDE, just ignore all
dotfiles.

Fortunatelly it still works for tracked dotfiles like .travis.yml and
.gitignore itself.

Didn't notice .travis.yml, but indeed i should notice .gitignore.

Any idea what's the correct way to handle them?
Just current .* or adding each possible dotfile?

Thanks,
Qu

I've left .* and tested that changes to .gitignore or .travis.yml are
recognized (diff, commit).
