Ah, true.  I seem to remember a thread long ago about whether to
include editor droppings in .gitignore, but I can’t find it in
the git or lkml archive.

git’s .gitignore does not include .*.swp, \#*#, *~, indeed.

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
