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

[Qu Wenruo]

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

Instead of adding gitignore entry for each editor/IDE, just ignore all
hidden files like what kernel does.

I think you mean:
files starting with ".", like ls does by default without the -a flag.

When I punched the words "linux hidden file" into google, I got quite a
lot of pages showing 'In the Linux operating system, a hidden file is
any file that begins with a "."'

So I think the words "hidden files" should be more or less OK?

Thanks,

I think the word "dotfiles" is ok.

My main point was that you said "hidden files like what kernel does"
which is not true.

Shortening to "just ignore all dotfiles" would be a good choice.
