As Phillipe pointed out, there are still a few files that may be created by merely running './configure' or common editor droppings or workflow setups that are still worth ignoring, but as most of these truly no longer appear during a fresh checkout, it makes sense to clean it up. Someone who still wants to use 'fake in-tree' builds and creates symlinks for themselves will no longer have those symlinks ignored by this pruned file, but can edit their own .git/info/exclude file to match their preferences. > diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore > index 4ccb9ed975..bb916594eb 100644 > --- a/.gitignore > +++ b/.gitignore > @@ -1,165 +1,7 @@ > /GNUmakefile > /build/ Our 'fake in-tree' build uses just 'build', but ignoring '/build*/' might be wiser to automatically ignore all other variations on the theme of a subdirectory per build. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
